Just about every piece of plastic that has been made still exists today. Only a small amount has been incinerated, which causes problems in itself because of the toxic chemicals released when plastic is burned. The petroleum in plastics cannot be digested by the Earth, and most of plastic trash ends up in our beautiful oceans.
