Suppose you're broke and then some rich guy walks up to you on the street and loudly proclaims "throwing plastic in this river next to us would be terrible! I would never do it! But, would you mind taking this plastic cup for me? I'll pay you $100 to take it! And I don't care what you do with it ;)".

What would you do?

TFA:

"That means that around 2% of waste is traded"

"Most of the plastic that enters the oceans from land comes from rivers in Asia.1 More than 80% of it."
