Western governments need to put pressure on the governments of the major polluting countries.

Yes the UK is not polluting on the same scale as China, but that doesn't mean we get to sit back and point the finger at other countries. We still have a problem dumping tonnes of plastic into the ocean, and we (and USA) can set an example for developing countries by changing our ways.
Until January this year, the UK shipped two thirds of its plastic waste to China. Since China blocked us we have a huge backlog building up because we need to dispose of it ourselves somehow and currently do not have the means to do it. So lets see those plastic pollution stats again in 12 months time and see if we can still feel as smug.
