Well you need oil to make it which isn't the best start, it takes 100's years to degrade once use, difficult to recycle and potentially toxic.

Plastic aint fantastic

Mostly its made from oil, so thats bad.

A lot of it isnt biodegradable so will just sit in landfill sites for decades.

Plastic is ****ing terrible stuff because it takes so long to break down.

They reckon bar a very small percentage that's been burned, every piece of plastic is still floating around somewhere. When you think about it that's a LOT of plastic. Also worries that it is starting to get into the food chain, because as it breaks down over time into smaller pieces, fish and other animals we eat are digesting it.

I hate plastic with a passion.
