Never-Ending Plastic

In the article Polymers Are Forever, there is a shocking truth that no one seems to be concerned with. Since plastic production has begun the ocean waters have become filled with its byproducts. After WWII there was a rocket increase in plastics. The plastics over the last 50 years have not left us yet though. They are still around us in the forests and waters. They are attractants to toxic substances. One report found that the concentration of poison in a bird to be exponentially high. This could cause biological magnification, meaning the higher up on the food chain the more concentrated the toxins could be. If the waste of plastic is not controlled it could change how the world is structured and could cause drastic changes in the order of nature.

Only the future shall know the price of our advances in technology.
