The Lasting Impact of Plastic
The impact of plastic as a substance to suit our lifestyles will have
lasting impact for generations and generations to come. Plastic is a substance that naturally
does not biodegrade over time and, as a result, plastic constitutes over 80% of the waste in our
landfills.
The fact that plastic is non-biodegradable and heavily manufactured has contributed to the development of
a land mass in the Pacific Ocean larger than
the state of Texas that is entirely comprised of plastic and has become an inconvenient topic of
discussion.
