Plastic – as everyone knows is a very consequential issue around the world and now it is the greatest curse to our home, Portsmouth!
The ‘Curse’ of Plastics is now widely germinating many menaces related to the life on Earth. Most of the things that we use is all, nothing but Plastic! Almost 99% of rubbish composes Plastic. This never spared the marine life either. Many campaigns like #SAVETHETURTLES and #SAVETHEWHALES are conducted to spread awareness about it. It affected marine life simultaneously along with the terrestrial living.
All our surroundings are getting submerged with it. Currently, most of the plastics are thermosetting plastics. From saucepans to electrical sockets. Now, we need to stop it. Some plastics are told to be recycled and Biodegradable, but none can be exactly disposed. We need to make a change. Plastic causes cancer and when burnt, it releases harmful gases into the air and causes global warming and Respiratory diseases as well, developing into CLIMATE CHANGE!
We can follow the 5R’s policy. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose and Refuse!! Always throw away plastic where it is to be disposed like the separate bins for plastic waste.
Recently, the garden arenas of Clarence Pier, near the sea, have been littered around with a lot of plastic right from food sachets to bottles. Tourists don’t take care for the area; no one uses the trash bins to dispose plastic waste. These are places where a lot of public would love to visit and hence should be maintained neat and tidy.
Plastics don’t just cause harm for human race; they harm our beloved pets as well. A survey reveals that more than 1000 animals are dying in a week due to plastic consumption! Plastic also causes disturbance for the tourists who visit the sea fronts. Here, the blessing of durability of plastics becomes the curse of our ecosystem.
Go green, no plastic, everything is fantastic!
