Decomposition of Storm Water Trash

It is said aluminum cans take 80-200 years to decompose. I think decomposition of aluminum cans happens faster in water as cans like seen in the above photo are definitely being assimulated into the environment quickly. What is in Dog River? A lot more aluminum than normal because Dog River is teeming with decomposing aluminum cans.

It is said plastic bottles take 450 to 1000 years to decompose. Merely speculation because none of last century's plastic bottles have decomposed yet. I certainly have never seen a plastic drink bottle in any state of decomposition.

Worse yet, bottles made with PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET) will NEVER biodegrade. Virtually all single-serving and 2-liter bottles of carbonated soft drinks and water sold in the U.S. are made from PET. Plastic bottles can be recycled but Alabama ranks #46 when it comes to eco-friendly behavior like recycling plastics, #50 being the worst. No wonder why Alabama's roadsides, ditches and waterways are so littered with plastic bottles. The retards in the Alabama legislator are afraid to legislate laws that promote recycling. Hence the former "Alabama the Beautiful" is now known as "Trash Home Alabama."

It is said glass bottles take 1 MILLION years to decompose. No issue here because at the rate humans are altering their living spaceship with hazardous chemicals, trash and nuclear waste, humans will be extinct in a few hundred years.
