Summary

TLDRPlastic is widely used due to its affordability, strength, and versatility, with global consumption reaching 322 million tons by 2015. However, 43% of this plastic becomes waste, which can take hundreds of years to decompose. This waste harms ecosystems, contaminates soil, clogs drainage systems, and causes severe damage to marine life, with over a million sea creatures dying annually from plastic ingestion. To address this, the script encourages responsible plastic use by adopting environmentally-friendly practices, such as reducing plastic bag usage, using reusable bottles, and sorting waste for recycling to protect our environment for future generations.
