Where Do You Think It Comes From?

And where the fuck do you think it goes?  A study (granted, a study by a bio-plastic company) was found that 72% of Americans don't know that conventional plastic is made from petroleum products.  And a full 40% believe that plastic will biodegrade.  So are their compost piles pocked with soda bottles, that for some reason haven't changed into dirt yet?   I guess that might be one reason you see plastic litter around; they think its the same as throwing an apple core out the window.  This is almost as embarrassing as our pitifully low evolution acceptance rate.
