Plastic. 73% of beach litter worldwide is plastic.

Plastic is one of those inventions which the man mind should regret just like those nuclear weapons. Since the 1950s only, around 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide. And over the past 50 years, world plastic production has doubled.
We just can't blame the production because the usage triggers it. For instance, about 2 million plastic bags are used every minute in this world and a million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. The worst part here is that the average time a plastic bag is used for, 12 minutes.

Even though the pollution affecting this planet is affecting us little by little and will make this planet unsurvivable, we are getting direct health hazards too. An average person eats 70,000 microplastics each year and we see stray animals eat plastics very often from dumpsters.

They are embedded in soil, taking millions of years to decompose; floating in water, killing organisms and what not. Plastic pollution is everywhere, from our streets to beach, from parks to Oceans.

When earth, our health, animals peace, all of these are disturbed, I don't see the point in using plastics anymore.
