How Plastic Bags Affect Us
WHAT IS..? POLLUTION
CLEAN BEACH!
Polluted Beach
What Can You Tell Me? Plastic bags take around 300 years to degrade.  They break down into tiny toxic particles that contaminate the soil and waterways. Plastic bags are now one of the top 12 items of debris most often found along coastlines  The making of plastic bags worldwide uses over 12 million barrels of oil per year.
In the United States, more than 1,000,000 plastic bags are thrown away per minute.
That’s  16,666 bags every second!
