Practical uses of plastics are endless. However, because plastics can literally take millions of years to beak down (IF ever!), humans must be aware of this fact and plan HOW we will manage all this plastic waste! Uses include:

  1. Bags, bags, bags - from sandwich bags to grocery bags, they are convenient
  2. Pipes, pipes, and (well, other pipes!) - whether used in home Plumbing, or bongs, plastic pipes can tolerate changes in temperatures and allows expansion
  3. dishes to containers - beginning with Tupperware in the 1940s-1950s, women fell in love with plastic kitchen ware!
  4. utility to utensils - Whether knives, forks, and spoons -- or wastebaskets, waste containers, etc.-- we need ways to shovel things into places. Not to mention the shovels to make this possible.
