Poly Bags – If It Goes Out Of Order
Plastics are one of the best materials mankind ever seen. But the same importance may be given for its aggressive attack on mankind. It is difficult to handle as the material is not fine to degrade, it takes about 300 years to photo degradation. They break down into small toxic particles that contaminate soil and waterways and the food chain. If animals accidentally eat it the body system cease to function leading to complete break down and fall. Thus, most of the straying animals become preys to the human’s indiscriminate activity on nature. Plastic clogs the intestines and cause slow starvation. Others were caught in plastic bags and drown.
How can we cope with this threatening situation? Any other alternative to plastic bags will help the earth from this difficult situation? Do you know that while plastics are manufactured millions of gallon of oil is used up in addition to our need to drive our vehicles every day? This adds to the severity of dearth of fuel resulting in the depletion of fuel from the face of the earth.
Is paper carrying bags an alternative to plastic bags? There may someone who will strongly oppose it because when paper bags are used as an alternative to plastic bags the surrounding is made cleared of plastic materials and the benefit of it goes to our surrounding and even the air we breathe.
Just look around. Plastic bags can be seen hanging from tree branches, flying through the air, settled in the bushes and floating on rivers. They block gutters and drains causing water and sewage overflow and become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria that cause disease.
Even though some experimental stage to dispose of plastics is under way we cannot get the benefit of disposing it in the near future. So the only way to solve this problem is to use it at minimum possible level, and try to reuse it if possible until a solution to this great calamity make its appearance.
