Yes everyone does. The problem is the billions that aren't...lol

Ban camping then if that's what you want? I take responsibility for myself. And I don't dump garbage in the ocean.
And I keep my space here in Canada clean. So I am already doing my part.

As am I, I pack out what I pack in.
Ban random camping, hell no I don't want to see that, im unsure where/why you got that impression. There is a reason for a loss of recreation areas.

I like camping too. Just trying to figure out the hate on plastic bags.
i am pro plastic bag lol. Worked in fort mac for 2 years and you have
to bring bags from home and it's a pita for me.

make em out of paper if you want, I don't want their 5$ shopping bags though.

maybe if some of these goofs out west brought more plastic garbage bags
with them we'd be in better shape not worse?

Hire some of these new refugees? If that doesn't work then what? Keep dumping chit in the ocean?

what do you need to live with that comes from China anyways? Fidget spinners?

why not ban a lot of things? Why single out plastic bags. How bout red solo cups of plastic forks? Ext ext ext

Thing is everything we use day to day comes from these places including the device your using to read this.

We are lucky to live in a place that we can drink the water and it's up to us to decide what we do with the bottle. Sad but many of these places don't have a way of handling the garbage. It's sad but they don't have the capacity or the knowledge or the funds to deal with it and because the government is paid from the companies to look the other way on disposal it's a vicious circle as westerners that buy the product

Sure it is, there are so many people there they don't have the capacity to deal with it. Same with India. We are just as guilty for supporting it by purchasing the product. I'm just as guilty as anyone. Given many of these countries are making strides but it's a generation thing, and many poor countries just can't deal with it.

You might, but I don't. And I judge it to be a ignorant practice that should be jailable.

Tom, until we stop buying Dollar Store / Walmart crap there will always be a need for products from these countries. Ironically, from my travels to India / China, I found China 1000 times cleaner than India. As a society, Chinese are clean people but they lack leadership in clean (or better) manufacturing practices where as India it goes full circle from the people to industry as its the "Wild West".

Thats not entirely accurate, they dump waste water from the sewer treatment plant on board. It not raw sewage in the newer ships.

Torque must be after the gear reduction at the motors, unless they are running the motors near 60 rpm. Cool at any rate.

Might be talking per wheel motor but still 140 HP wheel motor with 1200 torque means the motors would need to be 500 rpm
