Plastic bottles and particularly plastic bags don't ALWAYS make it to the trash cans or bags. That is how they could end up at the bottom of a lake in The Villages or in the ocean. And a plastic bag sitting on top of some coral in a Coral reef would probably kill some. True, excess CO2 is killing more living Coral than plastic bags. CO2 from gasoline cars and golf cart exhaust pipes.
