In chapter three their was a lot of historical facts that I never knew or heard about such as our plastic consumption was nonexistent in the 1960’s but by the time we hit the year 2000 that number went from nearly invisible to the second highest thing we throw away.  Another fact that I did not know was that the era plastic was born it also coexisted with the introduction of television ads.   Assumingly with all of the ads came along with the mass of people having an urge to buy the newest and latest thing which gave birth to credit cards and interest which allowed people to borrow money to buy more things and would have to pay the bank back with interest if they were late on a payment. All of the things listed above has been invented in the sixties and has stuck with us to the present. An interesting fact that I later found later on in the chapter was the credit card debt asset in 2008, placing the third highest with 7.8 percent.  Although with the time of the plastic era came with our new invention that basically surrounds us everyday plastic bottles, plates, cups, utensils, with all of them allowing a one time use only which has grown exponentially in the dumps.
