Taking a stand against pollution

The world is being overcome slowly and steadily by pollution in many forms. One of the worst and most threatening is the non recyclable use of plastics. Plastic bottles are finding their way into our oceans and breaking up into plastic particles that are being eaten by the fish that we consume, forming a huge garbage pile the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean.

Plastics are slowly destroying our world. One day, plastic refuse will dominate the world and overshadow humankind.
