The amount of plastic in use today, I feel, is unreasonable. It's so carelessly and thoughtlessly used in everything. The grocery store -- what happened to bringing your own containers, baskets, and bags? Every entertainment, convenience, appliance, and device we use: plastic. Want to buy a birthday card? Chances are it will come wrapped in plastic. We even wrap the plastic in plastic. I can't imagine a world where we don't depend on oil and plastics because we've come to a point where nobody can imagine living in a world where things aren't build to be disposable, convenient, and last practically forever. This article just continues the trend. The plastics don't simply disappear. Eventually we'll just be drowning in the stuff. It already inhibits plant growth in soils and plastic is in almost all the soil around the world. I won't be surprised if it also inhibits human growth.
