So. You invite a friend over to your house to do a school project. Your mum, seeing that you've got a friend over, goes into 'mum' mode and gives your friend food and drinks and is all hospitable and all.
Then at the end of the day, your friend goes home. On the way out, HE LEAVES HIS UNFINISHED COKE BOTTLE BEHIND.

Plastics are often disposed improperly and un-recycled. It pollutes the environment because it can take hundreds of years to decompose.
