A baseball cap is a type of soft cap with a curved crown and a rigid peak protruding in front. When first invented, the front of the cap was generally used to advertise the name of a sports team, or the sponsors of a game. Now caps are used as a marketing tool, to promote products and services, as well as still being a big star in the sporting world. The history of the baseball cap. The baseball cap was invented in the 1800’s when the Brooklyn Excelsiors baseball team wore the very first type of cap, the ancestor of the modern rounded-top baseball cap. This cap featured a long peak to keep the sun from the players’ eyes.

A great deal of plastic is thrown away in rubbish bins daily and can take up to 1000 years to decompose. This is an outrageous fact and highly damaging to the environment. Some plastics can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then flow into groundwater or other surrounding water sources and then into the ecosystem. This can cause serious harm to many different species that consume the water. Landfill areas contain many different types of plastics that are decomposing but, this no longer needs to be the case. Many plastics can be recycled or down-cycled and made into new products for us to use and help protect our beautiful world.
