Deaths of marine animals by ingesting plastic or otherwise non-biodegradable refuse have dropped 78 percent since 1990. In states where grocery stores use plastic bags exclusively, deaths of birds and wildlife by ingestion of those bags occur 16 times more frequently than in states that allow shoppers to choose between paper or plastic, and 43 times more frequently than in states that forbid the use of plastic bags entirely.

Plastic bottled water containers account for almost 213 animal deaths each day, almost as many as deaths from pianos falling on their heads and more than twice as many as deaths by falling anvils.

Hey, if "scientists" trying to pass off global catastrophe can make up numbers, so can I.

82.483% of all statistics are made up on the spot, and don’t you ever forget it!
