Plastics

Even as clean energy alternatives are on the horizon, Big Oil isn’t ready to let us kick our fossil fuel habit so quickly.

These greedy, corrupt corporations needed another way to make money from squeezing every drop of oil out of our planet, so they turned to plastic as the next big source of revenue for their filthy schemes. Studies predict that by 2050, plastics will account for about 20% of total oil consumption, up from around 8% in 2019. (Source: Waterkeeper Alliance, www.waterkeeper.org)
