Answer:
Single-use plastics might seem like a small contribution, but the price of convenience piles up quickly. Reduce your plastic pollution replacing your single-use plastic items with alternatives that last longer. Here are a few reasons why you should consider switching out your single-use plastic to help make a better impact on the environment.
- Plastic doesn’t biodegrade – Plastic waste can take up to 450 years to fully degrade.
- Marine life is diminishing – By 2050 it’s estimated that there will be more plastic in our oceans (by weight) than fish.
- Recycling is not the answer – Approximately only 9% of plastic is recycled in the US. China, formerly our biggest recycling importer, no longer accepts much of our recycling.
- Production isn’t slowing down – In 2016, world plastics production totaled around 335 million metric tons. That means roughly half the world’s of annual plastic production is destined for a single-use product.
