I creep through the plastic kingdom and feel disgusted as I spot all of the luminous coloured toys that are all kinds of different creatures. The sound of the employee clicking the keys as she types is annoying me.
Plastic is everywhere! The vivid colours are blinding me and the rubber smell is drowning into my nose. Sunset yellow ducks are one of the toys that are clustered together with lots of other neon creatures. Dark coloured cars with streaks of rainbow are lying on the packed shelves along with a variety of long shotguns with lots of accessories. I feel like I am drowning down deep into the waters of an ocean full of plastic.
People buy a toy, play with it and they just throw away, either because they are cheap or because they are broken. The anger in me is growing as I think about what is going to happen to all of these toys. Will they go into a landfill? Or into shallow waters of a beach? All I know is that none of these things are recyclable. What emotion should I have? Should I be sad because lots of sea animals might die. Or be angry because people are using too much plastic. I am starting to change my mind about going swimming in the ocean today because I might come face to face with a whole lot of plastic.
