Plastic is a polymer of hydrocarbon monomers, and is used frequently in everyday life as polythene bags, containers, cutting boards, appliances, etc. From our toothbrushes, to hairbrushes (and combs), to scrubbing brushes, to car wash brushes (and the cars we sit in), plastics form all or part of the products we use. From Tupperware or ZipLock bowls, to cat and dog water or food bowls, to Bowling pins (especially children's), to plastic bats, to decorating with fake bats and Halloween objects, plastics contribute useful products. Whether we buy plastic flowers or a hose to water real flowers, plastics add to the life's beauty as well as functionality. Even clothing and outerwear can have portions made with polymers of plastics; we'd be drenched and miserable without raincoats and umbrellas. Other than food, challenge yourself to find everyday products that don't use plastics either within the product or as covering made to sell the product.
