THE EVIL OF PLASTICS!
Every year, the United States generates a jaw-dropping 35 million tons of plastic. That's enough plastic to fill the Dallas Cowboys football stadium to the brim roughly every 16 hours.
All of that plastic takes centuries to break down. In the meantime, it ends up in our air and water, our food and our bodies -- as microplastics.
And worse - making new plastic is also incredibly resource-intensive: 99% of all plastic is made from fossil fuels and toxic chemicals -- and by 2050, the plastics industry will generate as much greenhouse gas pollution as 615 coal-fired power plants.
