the plastic world

Apart from joining few polymers of ethylene together in any chemistry lab, there are many ways to find the polyethylene ( or more popularly polythene),,,,, Yes, you really don’t need to panic much

Be it any site near railway station, market place or your garbage box, plastic is ubiquitous….

Isn’t it…!!!

As per scientific norms,  normal  plastic bag takes 1 million years to biodegrade … Yes, you know when  you throw  any banana leaf along the roadside ; it will take only 10-15 days to assimilate within the soil, you might be violating the civic and general cleanliness sense ... but not any major issue from environment viewpoint  (Oh please…. Here I am no more promoting anybody to dispose more & more ecofriendly garbage along the roadside, this is just an example to compare the intensity of the topic)

Kindly be careful from the next time and start thinking about the generations, of those who are reading this, who are not reading ,those who are breathing, eating , talking, sleeping, even those who are dead, in short the entire mankind.  Does it make sense??..

I think so…

Whenever we dispose any unused plastic & it comes into the contact w/land, the plastic starts polluting the land and ultimately deteriorates the fertility of the land.

Pacific garbage patch is the exact example to explain the depth of the issue, this is like a patch in between the centre of pacific  ocean, which ranges in kilometers and is the result of daily dose of dump poured in the heavy  quantities into the ocean (consisiting basically 85% of plastics) , I have read it somewhere that if it is to be cleaned ,it will take decades … Oh God!!! The figures are really rude and not  at all ready to come down, now the question arises what can we do? Does mother environment  need our  contribution?

Of course, that’s true………..

We can save this world by atleast million ways, few of them are-

1)      Save electricity, save water, save trees,  value money, value goods, do not waste food, … in the nutshell, the general  awareness points to be followed.

2)      One very important  issue is the re-use of materials specially plastic materials & bags , always carry the bag w/you wherever you go, atleast you should use the plastic bags as many times as possible, they are actually manufactured to be used all thru your lifetime since not possible; try to use for the maximum time you can… (I do the same , I always carry the polybag w/me, so that I could use the same as many times and generally avoid taking carrybags from outside ,speacially the sabziwallas and rather entice them to charge extra bucks if they provide  plastic bags…coz this lies in my range,I really wish someday we could achieve a plastic free world….

3)      The campaigns like “earth hour” and “greenathon” respectively organized by government of Delhi and  the NDTV are contributing their bit in a sincere manner ,more and more people should be imbibed for the sake of environment …

I think plastic is negative in its indirect meaning as well,that implies this world is full of plastic people and activities and we generally avoid those people but we cannot ignore their significance because even this can become essence, at times....well without being distracted from the point,  I strongly believe that we have to provoke ourselves, to benefit our future generations and instead of completely avoiding,one must minimise the plastic usage …..
