Plastic Pollution: the unfriendly army we're raising

According to statistics, plastic production has risen from 1 billion tonnes in the early 1980s to a landmark of 7 billion tonnes in the year 2015 and over 8 billion tonnes before 2017 which surpassed the world population of 7.51 billion in 2017 (UN.org). Out of concern for human population explosion, different control measures were introduced yet an army of plastic population leading to plastic pollution would soon jeopardize these efforts and deleteriously subdue human population with time.
