Blaming America first seems to be a recurring theme, but the facts paint a very different picture.

Even if we went to the extreme of banning all plastics in the United States, it would at best affect just 1 percent of plastic pollution in our oceans.

What is the alternative to plastics?

If they are properly disposed of--and Americans do that better than just about any other people on this planet--I have to ask, what exactly is the problem?

So, once again, it is blame America first, let's harm the American consumer, even though the American consumer is responsibly disposing plastic products, and without any alternative. That, to me, sounds almost childlike.

America accounts for less than 1 percent of plastic marine pollution.

I would like to know what are the plastics critics proposing as an alternative to plastic containers that they haven't already rejected over the years.

The single largest state employing them remains my home state of California, where 80,000 Californians are directly employed in the plastics industry.

I am wondering whose time are you speaking on? Because we are out of questions.

The misplaced object of the left's ire appears to be single-use plastic containers.

Isn't her question also a warning of how our quality of life would decline if the left is successful in restricting or banning it?

I was concerned that this breach of faith would cost Puerto Rico access to credit markets at reasonable rates for many years to come.
