3．We all know there is a problem with plastic pollution.Five trillion plastic bags are used every year.One million plastic drinking bottles are bought every minute.
What if we could use plastic waste to build roads？This is exactly what Toby McCartney has done.
In 2019，McCartney's UK-based company，MacRebur，built the world's first plastic road in Elgin town，Scotland.The plastic waste was made into grains（颗粒）and then mixed with bitumen（沥青）.The road looks just like any other road.But it has improved strength and is more stretchy（有弹性的）thanks to the plastic.
"Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather，reducing cracks and holes，"McCartney told the BBC.
McCartney's idea came from a trip to India. "I saw people in Indio would put plastic waste into holes and burn it.The plastic would melt down（熔化）and form a seal in the hole，"said McCartney.
"I knew that there must be some similarities between the plastic and bitumen，which both come from oil.That's how I started to think about mixing
them，" he said.
After lots of testing，McCartney found the perfect recipe.And now his company has built many plastic roads around the world，from Australia lo Europe.A one-kilometer road uses about 684.0000 plastic holes or 1.8 million plastic bags.The road itself can be recycled at the end of is lifespan.The materials can be reused to build new roads.
"Were just a small part of ending the plastic pollution，but it's nice to be part of it，"McCartney said."I just don't want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastic in our oceans than fish."
