Percentage vs raw numbers. Interesting argumentative decision given that the raw numbers and their visual representation in this graph is bare for all to see.

Edit: I assume this is your source for that 2%

While the article is indeed well researched, it doesn't address where the plastics in the ocean were produced. It only talked about total plastic pollution, which is not what the discussion is about.

I mean if you look at one of the graphs there, Europe, Japan, and North America still ship more than 4M tonnes of plastic to Asian countries.

The 970k tonnes fits very well inside that 4M tonnes.

This happened to me in the beginning but it also didn't last long. Since I have rounded shoulders from years of pc gaming, I always try to sleep with my arms above my head to stretch my chest muscles. Never happened again. Maybe you have circulatory problems too.
