00:06:08 that they have become an easy target

00:08:39 there’s only one place to go

00:11:01 The predictions from the plastic industry was

00:13:11 Well, the American Chemistry Council, otherwise known as the ACC

00:15:43 the three things that we Americans love to use and throw away the most.

00:19:15 We even package plastic in plastic

00:23:34 As you can see there are like the little marks on it which says how often this bottle is in this recycling circle.

00:56:39 Which means it also lines soda, juice, and beer cans, and -

01:00:21 Honey?

01:03:15 My name is Steve Risotto of the American Chemistry Council

01:06:37 We are keeping chemicals afloat in our environment

01:10:21 Go big or go home.
