What does it look like if you took both stats from the same year?
I see Plastic Generated was taken from 2010 and Chucked into the Ocean was from 2019.
I can't speak for anywhere else but around 2014/15 the UK started charging for and phasing out single-use plastic bags for things like shopping and groceries. I'd quite like to see how it would differ over those 9 years.

They also import a shitton of our "recycling" too. Which is then driven out into the country side and burnt on the side of the road.
Because it's cheaper than actually sorting and recycling it.

I feel like Solar power in Aus is cheating. You get a bit of sun fairly often, compared to other places.
-edit-
Holy... I thought there might be a sense of humour here. Nevermind hey.

I reckon if one of them power companies bit the bullet and bought some of Nevada or new mexico, next year they'd be rolling in it. You ain't got any logistics to pay for to move the sun from where it's mined to where it's processed and all that.
Wait for the current generation, maybe the next one too, to die off and I think things will really start changing. Probably too late but hey ho.
