It is cheaply made and in special cases, extremely durable. Even though it has a relative hard and solid surface it is actually surprising easy to mold. Next to the actual metal, plastic is pure gold.]]> 2019-05-14 16:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/359999399 s126519 https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/360002217 The plastics that end up in our world oceans have been known to be digested by marine animals (killing them rapidly), destroy habitats, and even break down into very tiny, humanly invisible particles that have been known to end up in our food and wreak havoc within us. 
Those plastics that do not break down can float for hundreds of miles carrying an invasive species that can destroy entire marine ecosystems.]]> 2019-05-14 16:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/360002217 s126519 https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/360554087 We, as a global society invent new things everyday.

These prices were made by the same people who are complaining about it and that should not be a reason for millions of lives in danger in the somewhat near future.]]> 2019-05-15 21:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/360555450 s126519 https://padlet.com/s126519/oceans5/wish/360556248 Just remove those officials that refuse to look at facts and make their argument on a much better standpoint rather than some tweak-able fiances.
