important facts about plastic.
Below are extracts from an article from the website- CREDITS: http://www.dancewithshadows.com/business/pharma/plastic.asp & we express our gratitude for the information provided. It shows important information about plastic and its impacts on the environment and our Earth.
We do hope that after reading this piece of information, you do get a better understanding and realise the importance of conservation.
The very first thing to do, is to reduce the use of plastic.
Of course, we will not pause but continue posting more articles on our blog so as to influence you :D
Please read the article with a serious attitude. This is not a joke. It is a true fact.
The next time you do the shopping and carry home the things in a cute, comfy plastic carry-bag, think: you are contributing your share to a deadly pollution whose ill-effects are irreversible and capable of reaching out to numerous generations to come.
Plastic is one of the major toxic pollutants of our time. Being a non-biodegradable substance, composed of toxic chemicals, plastic pollutes earth, air and water.
There is no way whatsoever you can ‘safely’ dispose of plastic waste. Plastic causes serious damage to environment both during its production and disposal. So the only way to reduce the hazards of plastic is to reduce the use of plastic and thereby force a reduction in its production.
The major chemicals that go into the making of plastic are highly toxic and pose serious threat to living beings of all species on earth.
Like in the case of all other chemical substances, ‘disposal’ of plastic is a myth.
Once plastic is produced, the harm is done once and for all.
Plastic defies any kind of attempt at disposal – be it through recycling, burning, or landfilling. When you recycle a hazard, you create a hazard.
Recycling of a toxic waste merely puts the hazardous material back into the marketplace and, eventually, into the environment – thereby making no reduction in toxic use. Since plastic does not undergo bacterial decomposition, landfilling using plastic would mean preserving the poison forever.
Apart from these perils, recycling of plastic is very uneconomical, dirty and labour-intensive .Recycling of plastic is associated with skin and respiratory problems, resulting from exposure to and inhalation of toxic fumes.
Plastic wastes clog the drains and thus hit especially urban sewage systems. The plastic wastes being dumped into rivers, streams and seas contaminate the water, soil, marine life and also the very air we breathe.
Choked drains provide excellent breeding grounds for disease-causing mosquitoes besides causing flooding during the monsoons. Any attempt to ‘get rid of’ plastic through landfills is also dangerous.
Apart form toxic seepage from the landfill, resulting in the contamination of precious water sources, the waste mass impedes the flow of ground water as well and obstructs the movement of roots.
The only way out of the deadly and lasting danger of plastic is to cut down the use of plastic, if not avoid it altogether.
Say ‘no’ to plastic – whenever and wherever you can.
