The article that I read was The Problem With Plastics and it was about how people throw plastic things on the planet and some animals get poisoned because they eat the plastic and people that eat the animals may get poisoned too.  The problem gets worse every year because when people throw plastic around the world it won’t decompose for a long time. New different countries are figuring out different solutions include prohibiting plastic straws and making utensles from food materials like rice and wheat.
