Plastics? That\u2019s a surprising subject matter for March, but this is a big part of what\u00a0<em>Last Week Tonight\u00a0<\/em>is trying to achieve this season. They are looking at subjects that you should know a little bit more about in addition to ones in the headlines.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the matter of plastics, consider that less than 10% of the plastic that is out there ends up being recycled. Or, that many items people assume are recyclable actually are not \u2014 take, for example, plastic boxes that contain lettuce that you find in the grocery store. Did you know that? Probably not. There are more plastic items being consumed than ever before, but there also isn\u2019t enough awareness of how to conserve.<\/p>\n<p>So what can be done to actually make the world a safer place? Oliver argued that it of course starts with awareness, for both the individual and then also corporations. Businesses can\u2019t just pawn off responsibility onto those who buy their products. There are\u00a0<em>plenty\u00a0<\/em>of people out there who don\u2019t know what the number on the recycling labels even mean. There was some shocking information in here, but also a great deal of time spent mocking bad mascots used to bring about change \u2014 even if not all of them came with hard facts.<\/p>\n<p>In getting back to current events, Oliver strongly condemned the recent hate crimes against the Asian-American community, and also offered a strong rebuke of both local law enforcement in Atlanta and others who suggested that this was not racially motivated. He also took issue with President Biden\u2019s proclamation that these acts were \u201cun-American,\u201d largely because of the country\u2019s noted history of anti-Asian sentiment. The acts shouldn\u2019t be American, but we need to confront these problems head-on in order to bring about real change. It was Oliver\u2019s strongest message of the night, and one that must absolutely be heard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to get some more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> on Last Week Tonight right now<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_think_about_the_latest_edition_of_Last_Week_Tonight_with_John_Oliver\"><\/span>What do you think about the latest edition of\u00a0<em>Last Week Tonight with John Oliver?<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the comments!
