Goldfish are the most popular “pet” fish in the world.
Plastic is the most produced material on Earth.
Every goldfish that ends up in a pet store is shipped from a breeding facility in a plastic bag.
Every goldfish that goes home from a pet store is placed in a plastic bag.
If you buy a plastic toy goldfish it is shipped and packaged in a plastic bag.
If you buy a dead goldfish sealed in resin that too is shipped in a plastic bag.
Can a goldfish exist outside plastic influence?
