A plastic bottle is used for 15 minutes on average and takes about 200 years to decompose. About one million plastic bottles are sold in the world every minute. And only 9% of used plastic is recycled, 12% gets burned, and the rest ends up in garbage dumps or the ocean. Because of this we find it in our drinking water and in our bodies (and in the bodies of other animals too). And this is just one of the many types of pollution that is currently taking place on Earth. It seems it’s high time for each of us to think about how we can take part in saving our planet.
