This week’s TidyTuesday is about plastic pollution. I noticed that the dataset had a large number of NAs, so I decided to “omit” all of them, and I got only 145 observations. Then I added a column calculating the ratio between plastic waste per capita and mismanaged plastic waste per capita. As a last step, I did a geom_jitter with the previously mentioned ratio and the gdp per capita’s values.

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Use of set_names();
• A deeper understanding of {stringr};
• I love regex! 🙂

ISSUES

• I need to understand how to use ggrepel…

#TidyTuesday about the plastic pollution. Plastic waste/mismanaged plastic waste ratio vs GDPs per capita: is it always obvious?

Question: can I label one single value with geom_label?#rstats #dataviz #ggplot #tidyverse #pollution
