Plastic is known as a very durable material made of long chained molecules classed as polymer that resists degradation, sunlight and can last from 100 - 200 years.
READ MORE HERE: When will indestructible plastics finally degrade?

One pitfall of plastics is that it usually ends up as trash in two places:
👉 Landfills
👉 Natural environment (the ocean)

Other things you might as well know!
➡️ Plastic is a multi-billion dollar industry which is expected to grow in coming years due to increasing population and economic demands.

➡️ Trash/plastic that ends up i the ocean is a health hazard to the environment and us. Thanks to the TOXINS called:

  • The toxic chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and PS oligomer. These end up in the guts of animals or wash up on shorelines, where humans are most likely to come into direct contact with the toxins.

➡️ Biodegradable plastics are being made such as hydro-biodegradable plastics and petroleum based oxo-biodegradable plastics. But these do not efficiently break down because it depends on how it is disposed + weather/temperature conditions; they may last as long as non biodegradable plastics. But in favorable conditions they only last 47-90 days. Source

➡️ Surveys show that people always have a negative impression on plastics compared to glassware and paper bags. Source

➡️ By 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. And plastic particles broken down in the ocean which is ingested by wildlife will be hard to remove. Imagine, does'nt that scare you?. Source

There are many benefits that plastics have offered to the world but it can be the very thing that can destroy us.

Public Awareness has increased but that hasn't led to falling consumption. And plastic producers don't plan on ending it soon.

Hello! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea and concept for this contest. It is a fantastic way to attract artists, spread some steemit love, but most importantly spread some love for the planet.

No only with plastic (though that does play a really huge part in it) but it is devasting what has been done to the oceans. Oil spills, fukishima, and of course plastic and other contaminants. So many people want to overlook our oceans until they want to go on vactions, and it throughouly sucks how the wildlife and sea creatures have been overlooked.

This goes right along with a collection of art that I make, so will defo be participating! 💖

Much love!

~Zoey

im also planning to write about fukushima and chernobyl
3g and 4g signals
wifi ------------ All radiation

we really must use in moderation and stop fukushima leak if we can.
I totally agree many TRAVELERS actually enjoy the beach and mountains and dont give a shit.
everytime I look at plastics now, I have second thoughts in throwing them... Ill just collect and make a giant artwork masterpiece, that way it wont get thrown.

Oh my hehe thanks for the support! please do join! we need more exposure
like I read, awareness has risen but plastic consumption has not declined.

Thank you so much!

SAVE OUR SEAS!

That's a fantastic idea! And don't forget about 5G!
Radiation is a really big problem, for the ocean and the honeybees too.
I thought I resteemed this already! Apparently I didn't so I'm about to. :D

Yes many smaller animals can go extinct.
:( Thanks for your support.
I'm definitely doing a write up on this

It was nice trying to get a meaning behind a drawing because usually I just sketch away to improve my technique so thank you for this!

This sketch is so pro! Thanks for joining! Beautiful

I know I'm late, but I loved this contest since I read your post
