Did you know?
Plastic is the most polluting material in the world. Its waste that is unfortunately found in all countries of the world, ejected beyond borders of the world into the ocean, forming uninhabited islands that are more often larger than many countries, and growing larger and larger each minute.
Advertising is also a major consumer of plastics. They are found everywhere including advertising banners seeking to catch our eye. The lifespan of these banners are often long. Much, much longer than the time short time they are used for. Companies and consumers hardly ever concern themselves with the non-biodegradable existence of this material beyond its usage, whichever of the 1,000,001 uses it had been used for.
