Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution is when there is a lot of plastic in the environment and it negatively affects animals, animal habitats or people. Many things are made of plastic because it is inexpensive and durable.Hester, Ronald E.; Harrison, R. M. (editors) (2011). Marine Pollution and Human Health. Royal Society of Chemistry. pp. 84-85.  Most plastics will not biodegrade, so they stay in the environment for a long time. That results in a lot of plastic pollution in the environment.
