You Drop Plastic Like a Bad Habit!

Plastic has become such a large part of everyday life that you probably don’t even notice

how much of it you use everyday. We live in a society where practically everything is disposable and let’s be honest, the convenience of all these plastic goods is really nice. But despite how easy it may be to use a plastic cup and toss it in the trash (instead of having to clean a reusable one), the waste created by that cup does not simply just disappear.

Because we never really get to see all the plastic waste we generate, most people don’t understand what a huge mess we’re making of the planet. In the U.S. alone, 2.5 million plastic bottles are thrown out every hour! But what does all this plastic waste really look like? And where does it go? Given the huge amount of plastic we throw out everyday, you would think we’d all be drowning in it!

So if you’ve ever wondered where all this plastic goes and why it’s such a huge deal. Check out these photos to get an idea.
