Post Body

I was sitting on the toilet doing my business and wondered at 2am how plastic is made and what it is made of. We see it every day in every shape and form but I've never asked myself the question: Where does it really come from? I feel so stupid because how can't I know that but use it every day.. 😭😭

I know that there's something in squids thats very plastic-like (like a thin, tiny "plate") but tbh I'm clueless. And I already excluded "plantbased made" because that would mean that it's biodegradable. Also I can't imagine it getting made from rock or sth 💀
