Plastic is a dangerous thing to have left outside because it doesn't decompose. For example, if the plastic we left out was a six pack ring, and a woodchuck came by and stuck his head in it, what would happen? He would probably strangle. That makes it dangerous. If it was a soda can and you left the tab on it, and animal might try to eat it and cut its mouth. Plastic is a very dangerous pollutant.
