“Plastic”

We made it. We depend on it. We’re drowning in it. 150 years ago, we created a lightweight, strong and inexpensive material. Today, this miracle material helps keep hearts beating planes in the air. More than 40 percent of it is used just once, then tossed. Some 9 million tons of it end up in the ocean each year.
