Plastic has invaded our entire living environment: In the human body, in our food, in animals, the landscape, air, lakes, rivers and the oceans. Along with the climate crisis, the plastic crisis is one of the biggest problems of our time. Probably no other object is as symbolic of the global plastic crisis as the plastic bag: it is the epitome of our throwaway society, stands for global pollution, excessive waste and excessive consumption. "Countless" iterations in the form of tyopogies added with hundreds of quotes from online articles reflect the current knowledge on the subject of plastics.
