I'm not too sure about this whole thing with the resolution and the international agreement. Sounds like a lot of complicated stuff going on. I hope it doesn't end up causing more problems than it solves. Just trying to keep up with all this political stuff can be overwhelming sometimes. #confused

I was reading up on this whole thing about the US SRES Bill 893 and the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution. It's like, they're trying to come up with this international agreement on plastic pollution by December 2024 in Korea. I mean, I get that plastic pollution is a big issue and all, but I'm not sure if this bill is the right way to go about it. It just seems like it might end up causing more problems than it solves. What do you guys think about it?
