Everyone should be aware of the fact that plastic can take up to a thousand years to degrade in the environment. Even if it degrades, it causes harm to the environment due to the release of the toxic materials that were used to manufacture the bottle. It is estimated that some 2 million tons of plastic bottles end up in U.S. landfills every year, and don’t’ forget the vast “islands” of plastic waste that floats around in the world’s oceans.
