Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to our environment due to the sheer volume of plastic that’s been created. Beyond its creation, the fact that so much of the plastic we create goes unrecycled means its clogging landfills, oceans, and other areas that are lost to us as they accumulate more and more plastic.
The problem with plastic is that at this rate, it’s not going anywhere. We’ve produced too much and left too much go unprocessed that its started making its way into the oceans. We manufacture more plastic for one-time-use purposes that gets added to the pile.
Don’t believe us? You’re in for a shock…
