Once upon a time, a world consumed by the flames of World War I found itself entrenched in a
relentless struggle for resources. Amidst the chaos and scarcity, a glimmer of hope
emerged—the dawn of plastics.
Driven by the urgent need for alternatives, scientists embarked on a daring quest to unlock the
secrets of synthetic polymers. Their relentless efforts bore fruit, bringing forth a transformative
revelation—the birth of plastics. Among them, Bakelite emerged as a pioneering force, igniting a
revolution that would forever alter the course of history.
As the embers of war cooled, a tide of industrialization and mass production surged forth,
guided by the allure of plastics. Their unparalleled versatility and ease of manufacture
bewitched manufacturers seeking cost-effective substitutes. The world, hungry for progress,
opened its arms to plastic, seduced by its promises of convenience and affordability.
The enchantment spread like wildfire as consumers reveled in the lightweight, durable, and
malleable wonders that plastics offered. From humble trinkets to grand designs, plastic became
a ubiquitous presence, adorning every aspect of life. Advertisements, wielding a hypnotic power,
cast a spell upon hearts and minds, fueling an insatiable demand for plastic.
With economic growth fueling a rising middle class, a wave of consumerism engulfed the world.
Plastics, the embodiment of modernity, permeated every sphere. They reigned supreme,
transforming industries with their technological prowess. From mundane household appliances
to fashionable attire, plastics wove a tapestry of convenience, capturing the imagination of all.
Yet, hidden beneath the shimmering facade, a nefarious force began to stir—a devil’s dominion
rising in the wake of progress. Plastic waste, an unintended consequence of its omnipresence,
multiplied silently. The devil’s grip tightened as the world’s oceans choked on eight million metric
tons of plastic waste annually, desecrating marine life and destabilizing delicate ecosystems.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch emerged, a colossal testament to mankind’s folly.
Microplastics, invisible foes, infiltrated the very air we breathed and contaminated the soil
beneath our feet. The devil’s insidious presence cast a long, foreboding shadow, threatening the
very balance of nature.
Awakening from its delusion, the world confronted the Devils Dominion, Humanity has decided
to wage a war against it.
