It’s no secret that single use plastics like bottles, food packaging and straws are all contributing in a huge way to environmental pollution.
While you might use one of these items for just a few minutes, these items do not disappear once we throw them into the garbage.
National Geographic estimates that each year about 8.8 million tons of plastic trash ends up in the ocean.
