You need to open the stomachs of the albatrosses of Hawaii, or the large fish of the deep seas. Despite living as far as possible from our industrial world, they contain plastic. Many pieces of plastic.

This new material does not degrade for centuries. And unlike many other materials that we could be using, it floats. The oceans of the whole world are now festooned with plastic items on their surface. Animals eat them, or get caught in them. Animals die.
