The kind of people who care about plastic at all don't seem the type to say "oh well we can clean it up go wild boys"

No of course not. It's the people who have an interest in keeping plastic around, who I fear might use an excuse like that.

People who don't care about plastic pollution aren't really the audience of efforts to combat it.
