A small habit can bring back life to earth...

 Just a random thought of the day....

Everyday we enjoy a lot with many resources...

Did you ever thought what is common among all the physical entities we use??

From the tooth brush to the wrist watch all around we are in the magic of one single chemical formula.

Are we that dependent on it?

How did human life existed before we synthesized this greatest mould?

Did you ever think of future generations and eco-system before we start using this?

I think you have already got to know what I am talking about...


NO!???

Just think...

What is the beautiful fiber we are using to end the life on earth..

..

..

..

YES, It is the "Plastic"

Just on a simple note on my sight, I can tell at-least 15-20 items in our room are purely made of plastic.

We all start our day with a plastic tooth paste, have breakfast with plastic spoons & plates, go to work in car which is full of plastic, chocolate wrappers, milk packets, vegetables bags, plastic jars, kitchen utensils, water bottles, smart watch bands, yoga mats and so on.. and if we keep on discussing these things list goes huge.

Is there such a dependency on plastic in our life?

There are few places we cannot avoid plastic like electricity wiring, computers...

But about others??

We all know what we can do with plastic after after usage...

1. Burn it

2. Re-cycle it

3. Throw it in the garbage.

Burn it : How much plastic will you burn? What results in it?

This is just a simple short answer for a 10th standard student and he will forget this after the exam.

If not, just a quick recall, it releases toxic materials which directly impacts the ozone layer, increases the temperature of the atmosphere which is directly impacted on the other living things (from micro organisms to giants, humans included).

When I tell this to many people, few question what will happen if temperature increases? 

The easy way to understand  :  There are many hills, mountains, glaciers of snow on earth, with the rise of temperature one fine day earth will be 100% full of water.

Re-Cycle it :  Re-cycling is one of the most important thing to use the plastic.

we are pretty sure that with new requirements & comforts comes the new ideas. For many ideas we get today, our first solution is plastic.

Again, we production of plastic with new requirements and new scale.

It is not a mistake to resolve the problems, but we should consider plastic as a problem!! 

Throw it in the garbage : I don't want to comment anything here,

We all should imagine a world full of garbage with can't be decomposed till...........

---------------------------------------

Is it effecting anything else??

We throw garbage on roads / burn it, local animals go to the garbage for food / when we burn the plastic air gets polluted, birds will be effected.

We throw the garbage in water bodies and of course the aquatic life is also effected.

----------------------------------------

I myself consider plastic as one of the greatest thing which humans have created for themselves.

It is pretty good known to everyone - Knowledge & Usage in deep is always death!

At this point of time, we have moulded our lives with plastic and it is not such easy to get rid of it.

But we all can together decrease the use of plastic.

Not a very great steps to be followed to do this :

  • Carry a bag cloth/ plastic which can be used for long time, while you are going out.
  • Find alternatives of plastic wherever required.
  • Educate the people around you like street vendors, local stores etc.
Please try to follow the above steps, you will feel a difference in your life style.

Ik you all know the above things, it is just a reminder that we are in a war zone and it is very difficult to cross this.

Comment any thing you follow to avoid plastic / share your experience how plastic is going to effect the life on earth!!

Thank you,

  1. Nice ra Prudvi, it's actually a good initiative you took to avoid the usage of plastic.

    I liked the alternatives you mentioned for example usage of cloth bag.

    Yes the thing we are doing now may be the first step in our circle, but yeah every thing has to be start with step 1 only.

    I hope everyone follow this kind of alternatives and help in reducing the usage of plastic ❤️😀
