it takes too much effort to get rid of it. so it gets passed around until someone dumps it, so everyone that handled it can claim that they're not responsible for it.
it's just human nature. the act is not much different from throwing a battery into the trash when you should really be recycling it.
lead paint is used in industry, probably in america too. a toy company can simply order it and use it to paint their toys. or they make more than toys or they have that paint from a long time ago so they're going to use it.
it's all about convenience and just doing the job that someone has hired you to do. i think most people can relate to that a little. I'll continue using straws until I can't get them or until they're illegal. And maybe making them illegal is the best option we have if we don't want them in our oceans.
