Using single use plastics items and making new items consumes_______

The correct answer is: Fossil fuels

• Single-use plastic products (SUPPs) may be regarded as convenient, but the harm they inflict on the environment and human health through production, distribution, and littering makes them a serious hazard.
• There are many reasons why SUPPs should be phased out, including the open burning of plastic garbage, eating seafood that has been tainted with plastic, and the production of dangerous microplastics. 
• Single-use plastics are goods that are designed to be thrown away shortly after use, often in a couple of minutes, and are mostly made from chemicals generated from fossil fuels (petrochemicals).
• Single-use plastics are most frequently used in packaging and service products like bottles, wrappers, straws, and bags
