With an estimation over 300 million tons of plastic production, each year and only 10-13% of plastic items are actually recycled. The dire truth.
Due to difficulties in many petroleum-based plastic recycling, there are new materials and chemicals to be added to support recycling. More chemical pollution!
Unfortunately, petroleum-based plastic is not biodegradable which means it usually goes into a landfill. The result of this is that it gets buried into the earth for all eternity and continues to pollute.
If plastics do not go into the earth, then the alternative is to find their way into the water system and then ultimately it will create a devastating effect of floating plastic and contaminated beaches. Marine life and ecosystems will be impacted severely.
I start my own initiative with little things that I can change on my own and I encourage all of you to start small as much as you can.
Do it for a passion, for a reason, or for your next-gen...
Stay Safe and Stay Strong!
