posts_gdocs: 1nOaymbJlBqEEzIS7aOBdOPRGX8-fdjUxpxnHnntReBE

This table contains the GDocs posts. A lot of interesting data is the content column which is a json blob containing, among other things, the archieml as parsed json. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

This year’s theme is ending plastic pollution. The world produces vast amounts of plastic: more than [450 million tonnes](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-plastics-production) yearly. But when it comes to plastics leaking into our rivers and oceans, it’s the _management_ of plastics — not their production or use — that matters most. When plastic is not correctly recycled, incinerated, or stored in sealed landfills, it can pollute the environment. According to the OECD Global Plastics Outlook, around [one-fifth of the world’s plastic waste](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-plastic-fate?country=~OWID_WRL) is mismanaged in this way. As this map shows, mismanaged plastic waste per person tends to be higher in low-to-middle-income countries. This is because their plastic use has increased much faster than their investments in waste management infrastructure. (These estimates come [from research](https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/18/eaaz5803) by Lourens Meijer and colleagues.) To end plastic pollution, improvements in waste management — alongside more responsible use of plastics — will be critical. Domestic policies will be crucial, but richer countries can also contribute through foreign investments in waste management infrastructure.
