Plastics pose threat to our planet mostly due to their un-biodegradability. This material never fully degrades – over time it may only break into smaller pieces. As a consequence, plastics not only litter our beaches, parks, landfills but also oceans (did you know that huge concentration of plastic debris cover large areas of oceans, the bigger one being the size of Nigeria?). Little particles of plastics are also very dangerous to many marine species, as they are often mistaken for food. Once consumed, plastic cannot be ever digested or processed, so it remains in the system until the organism is eaten by another species. Consequently, the plastics accumulate up the food chain and make seafood potentially dangerous for humans as well!
