Plastic is like an invisible killer, which makes animals hide and never invade their lives again.

There are countless such things. What's more frightening is that plastic bottles take 450 years to decompose, and they will become tiny pieces. After being swallowed by animals, people may eat seafood, and plastic particles may remain in the human body.
