Have you ever noticed that plastic is everywhere? It’s in lots of things we use every day, from our toothbrushes and shampoo bottles to our binders and chairs. Plastic sure seems handy, doesn’t it? Well, not everything is as good as it seems!

See if you can guess how long each plastic item takes to break down into microplastic!

6/7 pretty good right? I will try to get rid of plastic but, I can’t recycle where I live because I live somewhere that you can only fly to, so it’s too expensive to take out the recycled stuff to recycle it properly.
