The article claims - India contributes 60% of the plastic in the ocean.
From the Times of India (TOI) article that it refers to - "India is among the four largest contributor who in total contribute 60%". Which considering a journalist's honesty definitely means India is the fourth largest contributor, which would mean India at most contributes 15% of the waste.
That is a long way from the 60% claimed. Considering the reputation of TOI, even the milder claim is quite suspect.
- chrischen 10y agoActually the wording on the sentence is bad, but they said the top 4 contribute to 60%, and claim India is among the top 4.
