"Polymers Are Forever" Response

According to this reading, polymers or plastics are indeed forever. It's true that most of the time humans don't even realize when they're littering. One example from the reading that I found very interesting was about exfoliants: tiny spheres that are in many face and body washes. What many people don't know is that these tiny balls actually consist of plastics which do not break down in the environment. Some companies do use other materials such as "jojoba seeds and walnut shells" which are natural and therefore safe for the environment. I would never think to consider exfoliants as contributers to pollution in the world. They seem so small and harmless, but when millions and billions of them end up in the ocean they do add up and become part of the problem. This makes me wonder what other daily rituals we do that contributes to the destruction of the earth. Can you think of any?
