plastic substances dont break down..which means out of 25 billion 22 billion ends up in landfill..next the wood fibers and plastic fibers are mixed..when it disposes the wood fiber breaks down leaving millions of tiny peices of plastic..causing it to get into our drinking water.

Plastic pollutes the environment because it can not break down when you don't want it anymore. All plastic is recyclable, so recycle it if possible.

It is not plastic that is affecting the environment it is what people do with the plastic after. Littering plastic is terrible because the plastic usually ends up in the ocean when plastic is reusable and you don’t need to throw plastic away. Fish eat the plastic and it kills them. If we don’t do anything now, in 2050 there will be more plastic than fish. The plastic doesn’t kill the environment, we do.
