It\u2019s convenient\nto use, but hard for the earth to dispose of. According to National Geographic,\n\u201c40 percent of plastic produced is packaging, used just once and then discarded.\u201d\nIn fact, <em>single-use<\/em> was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/word-lovers-blog\/new\/etymology-corner-collins-word-of-the-year-2018,449,HCB.html\">Collins\nDictionary word of the year<\/a> for 2018.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few additional facts <a href=\"https:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/2018\/05\/plastics-facts-infographics-ocean-pollution\/\">National\nGeographic<\/a> published about waste and recycling in December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Some 18 billion pounds of plastic waste flows into the oceans every year from coastal regions.<\/li><li>Shoppers in the United States use almost one [bag] per resident per day. Shoppers in Denmark use an average of four plastic bags a year<\/li><li>Nearly half of all plastic ever manufactured has been made since 2000.<\/li><li>Plastic recycling rates are highest in Europe at 30 percent. China\u2019s rate is 25 percent. The United States recycles just 9 percent of its plastic trash.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The trash problem has existed for decades, but it\u2019s become\nmore visible since China has reduced accepting America\u2019s recyclable garbage. As\na result, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2017\/12\/09\/568797388\/recycling-chaos-in-u-s-as-china-bans-foreign-waste\">plastic\ntrash is piling up<\/a> at US recycling centers and ports. Even when people\nrecycle, there has to be a strong infrastructure and a market for the recycled\nmaterials. Otherwise, plastic simply ends up in the landfills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-light-gray-background-color\"><em>And the lifespan of plastic garbage is significant. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plastic lasts, and lasts, and lasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longevitylive.com\/live-better\/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-plastic-trash-to-decompose\/\">Longevit<\/a>y,\nthis is what it takes for plastic trash to decompose in landfills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Plastic containers \u2013 50-80 years<\/li><li>Plastic Bottles \u2013 450 years<\/li><li>Disposable Diapers \u2013 550 years<\/li><li>Mono-filament Fishing Line \u2013 600 years<\/li><li>Plastic Bags \u2013 200-1000 years.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And actually, decomposition is not the end. As plastic\ndecomposes, it breaks down into smaller and smaller\u2014still plastic\u2014particles.\nThese <a href=\"https:\/\/plasticoceans.uk\/the-facts\/\">microparticles are eaten by\nmarine life<\/a> and passed through food chain. They also enter the soil and the\nair. That means humans may be eating and breathing tiny bits of polymer. While the\nhealth effects are unclear, it is reasonable to be concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-light-gray-background-color\"><em>Plastic microparticles pose a problem even when decomposing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plastic Ocean Pollution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tons of plastic waste are dumped into the oceans and wash up\non beaches around the world each year.&nbsp; Birds\nand marine animals can\u2019t distinguish between food and plastic, and consume until\ntheir stomachs are full. Unfortunately, they can\u2019t digest the plastic, and\nstarve.
