Although plastic is not good for the environment and is creating tons of trash
around the world, it still plays a very important role in our everyday life. Ian
Connacher, the director of the film “Addicted to Plastics,” once said in an interview
with Greenmuze: “I don't think the material is to blame. I think it is our misuse of the
material as consumers, the ineffective recycling policies and lack of producer
(Greenmuze staff 2008). “In fact, plastic is a very useful material that brings us
convenience and makes many things possible. One of the well-known facts is its
cheap price. Making packaging will cost 89% more to the consumers without the use
of plastics (American Chemistry Council 2007). Except for some disadvantages,
plastic is surprisingly beneficial in different aspects.
