Hey guys, read this post from start to end, as this post is not about me or you.
It's about our mother earth i.e nature! So please read it carefully.

This year world environment day was celebrated with the theme of "BeatPlasticPollution".
Guys as we all know that plastic is not good for us as well as for nature also, but still we are using it. Plastic rules everybody life.Plastic is everywhere. And over the past decade we have produced and consumed more plastic than the entire century.

Why do we use plastic?
1.Light -weight
2.Low cost
3.Long-lasting

But here are some facts regarding plastic which will definitely blow your mind:

  • How much plastic is there in the world?

    Acc. to an estimate we have produced 8.3bn tonnes of plastic which is roughly equals to the weight of 1 billion elephants. From which only 9% was recycled, 12% incinerated and remaining 79% dumped into the oceans.

  • Every year our world produces 300mn tonnes of plastic, from which 10mn tonnes dumped into the ocean. which means IRREPARABLE DAMAGE to marine life.

  • World's most common plastic waste is Plastic bottles. According to an estimate in 2016, 480bn plastic bottles were sold globally, i.e. 1million bottles / minute OR 20,000/sec

    Out of which 110bn plastic were made by Giant company Coca-Cola.From which 43% bottles dumped into the ocean.

  • Is plastic waste dangerous to marine life?

    Yes, it is very dangerous because marine creature like dolphins,turtles and seal cannot distinguish between plastic waste and food so by mistake they eat it, once consumed, damaged the digestive system or intestinal blockage.

-Every year 1million marine creatures died because of plastic waste

-By 2050 there will be more plastic in oceans than fish

So Here is the question: WHAT WE CAN DO NOW TO SAVE OUR FUTURE GENERATION FROM PLASTIC?

Government is doing their best to reduce plastic waste by starting new policies and starting initiatives. But it's our individual responsibility so that we can save our future generation from plastic curse.

Here are the things which we can d0:

  • Say no to plastic bags, instead use reusable bag i.e. bag made up of cloth(not the nylon or polyster one)

  • Bring your own water bottle with you i.e avoid plastic bottles completely.
    Start using stainless steel bottle or glass bottle.

  • Stop buying processed food packaged in plastic
  • Skip plastic straws completely.
    Plastic straw is one of the most common waste dumped into the ocean.
    So please avoid this, ans start using bamboo or paper straw.
