Plastic is made from crude oil in refineries formed by chemically bonding oil and gases together to make monomers.

In turn these monomers are turned into long polymer chains to make plastic in form of millions of pellets.

These pellets are then turned into mould and then given the shape of a plastic bottle.

Hundreds millions of plastic is thrown in land fills.More trash comes in trucks and fills the lands.

As plastic sit there being compressed amongst the layers of junk, rainwater flows through the waste and absorbs plastic molecules compounds in it, and some of them are highly toxic together they mix and form and create harmful stew called Leachate.

These water moves underground and mixes with underground water and then these toxic water mixes in streams, rivers, lakes and ponds, etc.

One bottle take approximately 1000 years to decompose.

As plastic bottles reaches rivers then its reaches to seas and oceans.

A place known as The Great Pacific Garbage Patch here all ocean currents have trapped millions of pieces of plastic derbis.

There are one of the five plastic filled gyres in the world’s seas. They are South Atlantic Gyre, Indian Ocean Gyre, Western and Eastern The Great North Pacific Gyre, South Pacific Gyre and the North Atlantic Gyre places where the pollutants turn the water into cloudy plastic soap.

The sea creatures eat these plastics and they are full but then they starve to death. For eg. A lanten fish eats plastics it is consumed by a squid and squid are eaten by the Tunas and Tunas are eaten by us.
