Every year,
over one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide; this means millions per
minute! This plastic refuse kills over one billion mammals and seabirds per
year, as well as hundreds of thousands of marine animals, who either ingest the
plastic or get suffocated by it.
The curse of plastic also affects humans in a tremendously negative way; by
clogging our drains, littering our pristine beaches, parks, rivers, roads,
choking our landfills, and serving indefinitely as sore reminders of our
wasteful consumption habits. Furthermore, the polyethylene material in these
plastic bags is not biodegradable; its components release toxic substances into
the soil. Is this enough of a reason to curb our use of plastic? Or you want
more disasters.....
