We're literally eating Plastic.
Okay, so we know that plastics are literally everywhere! We use them in almost all of our everyday products. It is like they are inescapable. You can find them in our clothes, at the grocery stores, on the shelves at your nearest supermarket, in your cosmetics, your toothpaste, lying on the beaches, floating in the oceans, lying on the roadside, flying with the wind in the form of fibres, even in the device that you're using to read this article. Most of this plastic ends up being carelessly disposed of without any recycling and then the problem begins where a majority chunk of it ends up floating in our oceans thereby harming our marine species and forming massive patches of plastic debris covering areas that could be larger than the area covered by a few small nations. Heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
