The Truth About Plastic – Infographic [1]

Plastic — can you imagine a day without it? It has come to be a component of nearly everything we buy and use, it seems. On the one hand, plastic has made things possible that might not have been possible. On the other hand, there are a few major problems (at least) with its widespread use:

1. It lasts longer than we can adequately comprehend.
2. It causes harm to countless animals and fish that try to consume it or get entangled in it.
3. Much of it contains hormone-disrupting chemicals that negatively affect humans.
