    Except… That’s not how the ocean works? There are localized effects to pollution. You can test this by spilling oil in your nearest ocean. Watch how it disperses, and watch how it doesn’t actually disperse that far away from you because of currents and whatnot.

    Not justifying the OP, but your statement is really inaccurate.

      How much pollution do you expect to get off a piece of cloth that’s presumably been washed versus a regular person’s body? Is it really inaccurate to say it isn’t a concern pollution wise? Is it worth bringing up in this context? Despite your disclaimer, aren’t you giving fuel to the idea that the complaints had some merit?

      Okay, but I’m telling the authorities it was your idea.
