From the videos and handouts shared with me, I am now better informed of how plastic consumption can affect the environment in several ways. For instance, plastic waste can take hundreds of years to decompose, and during that time, it can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water, which can harm plants, animals, and humans.

Single-use plastics such as straws, water bottles, and shopping bags can end up in the oceans and harm marine life.
