Plastics

Bags, Boats, Bottles, and Brushes

When World War II ended, plastics became an important part of our lives. Plastics fill our world today and we use them constantly. They are light, strong and cheap. Whether its playing a computer game, brushing our teeth or hair, frying an egg, drinking a soda, or carrying trash to the curb, plastics are there.
