How did we make plastic that isn’t biodegradable and is so bad for the planet, out of materials only found on Earth?

Question

I just wondered how we made these sorts of things when everything on Earth works together and naturally decomposes.

>when everything on Earth works together and naturally decomposes.

What are you talking about? There’s plenty of toxic and hazardous elements and materials found in nature. Especially crude oil is way and way more toxic for the enviroment if not contained compared to plastics.

What about volcanoes? They seem to have no issue in getting rid of plastics.
