Plastic pollution involves the accumulation of plastic products in the environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, or humans. Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macrodebris, based on size.

In America alone, Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year. However, the U.S.’s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year.

Can you imagine the rest of the world?

Do your part and recycle.

One easy way to do this is to have a plastic bottle garden.

Jamaican Urban Organic Farming – my Small Crops in their containers
