Stop plastic and stay healthy
Introduction:
Waste is now a global problem, and one that must be addressed in order to solve the world's resource and energy challenges. Plastics are made from limited resources such as petroleum, and huge advances are being made in the development of technologies to recycle plastic waste among other resources. Disposable plastic is the biggest source of pollution in india. Disposable plastics are plastic bags bottles, cups, and more other products that have minimum usage but have deep impact for pollution. We face several diseases and death due to that.
Let us know why plastic usage increase Day by day:
1. Due to the light weight:
They are easy to carry and easy to move But we also notice that it is easily entered in the environment by nature source and force like wind, water flow etc. it not destroy at the end of its use full life but stay for long time and affect water and wind.
2. Plastic is a very useful material with myriad application:
It can be use for several purposes but it should have a careful life cycle so that it can’t degrade land, water, wind, and living creature’s health.
Let us know the harmfulness of plastics:
1. 75% to 80% of debris is derived from plastic product. That poison affected marine life as well as food chain of human life.
2. Research indicates that tiny piece of plastic are absorbing and concentrating the sea water and sediment chemicals from poly chlorinated biphenols, PCBs, to the pesticide DDT.
3. It comes to the view that up to 110 million tons plastic produce yearly in the world. Approx. 2.5 million tons in the india.
4. In European countries and Americas one person uses approx. 70 kg. Plastic per year. Because they use maximum (use and through) one time usable materials and that’s the reason they have huge requirement of that and huge disposable plastics. But point to be noted that disposed plastic come to india for reuse because we have low cost worker that reduce the recycle cost because as I mention above plastic recycle cost are much more higher than primary production cost but this easy look part not so easy we have to know the effect behind that

let see the following video for the effect of that:
Let see the real effect of cost saving:
5. In india we use approx. 4.5 Kg. plastic in a year. It looks like less than other but point that we have to know we are based on river our prime source of water is river and we polluted that because we don’t use any proper disposal system we just create dump here and there that contain plastics.
Let see some debris create by us:
We said that ma ganga wash every evil in us but see the report that what we present to our ma ganga:
6. Plastic product have harmful rasin:-----
Substitute of pesticide plastic:
1. Scientists form Hyderabad have discovered biodegradable polymer made from starch and coconut fiber.
2. Jute bags and products are the old and well-known solution for the substitute of plastic.
3. Canvas bags and products are also being a good substitute of plastic.
Code and description of plastics material:
1. PET: PET is the short form of polyethylene terephthalate that usually clear type or green and it sinks in water but its look like glossy. PET steams are washed at around 90°C for at least 12 minutes.
2. HDPE: High density polyethylene is slightly opaque but it is low glossy. Milk bottle and most of the supermarket bags are made though this. It must be washed below 40°C to prevent discolored.
3. PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride is semi-rigid but glossy and is sinks in water. Most of the detergent bottles, pipes, raincoat are made through this.
4. LDPE: Low density polyethylene is flexible and it is not a crinkly. This type of material use to make bread bags.
5. PP: Polypropylene is one type of semi rigid and low glossy. Straws screw on lids are made through this.
Recycle System:
As per today’s law and regulation different type of recycle related law have been enacted. As per the requirement needed day by day that are amended and reviewed. On basis of this japan promote three “R”s – i.e. reduction, reuse and recycle of waste plastic.
Past Research Proves:
Transforming Plastic Pollution Into a Bricks in Bodhgaya
They have discovered a brilliant, low-cost way to turn this problem into a leading-edge solution by utilizing the plastic waste and compressing it into blocks that can be used as a medium for sustainable building construction!
Plastic waste is collected, cleaned, recycled, and then compressed into blocks to be used as building blocks. This proven appropriate technology solution pioneered in Haiti transforms this waste into a valuable resource.
The method of construction with the plastic blocks is earthquake resistance to scale of 8.3 Can withstand winds of up to 70mph
Has high insulation properties
Changing Our Small Habit can reduce plastic usage up to 45%:
Let us know daily life material like bags and bottle product that made
from plastic:
Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. Look sample right now I reduce the time to minute it comes approx 1 million per minute. Now added bottle products with it approx. 3 million tons plastic are use to bottle water each year worldwide. As per Americas estimation out of their total plastic bottle production only 10% can enter in recycle let as assumed 20% can be recycled but there are 80% that are waste and stay at land filled.
Same easy life style change can reduce 70% of that waste are we able to do that?
Use Fresh food:
We know that packaging foods are look nice but if the food is rotten we can’t track them from outside. Packet foods are not hygienic as much as fresh food still we take that. If we purchase fresh foods like fruit, juice for our breakfast we can reduce usage of plastic which are use for packing that materials.
Bring canvas bags or jute bags to the grocery store:
One of the easiest and most convenient ways to cut down on plastic bag and paper bag consumption is bring a canvas or jute bags when we go to the grocery shop or market for shopping. In some countries, like Japan, stores will actually charge you a small fee to use plastic bags, a practice I feel we should adopt to help encourage the use of canvas bags.
Skip on putting all produce in those little plastic baggies
We are not interested to pay attention on a simple mistake that we did every day. Most of our groceries i.e. veggies and fruit just putting them in the bag how much small plastic we use. If we use a big baggies instead of too many number of small bags we can save a huge plastic usage.
Don’t use garbage bags:
Most of the time we use garbage bags that made of plastic. Instead of garbage bag if we just empty our trash into the garbage bin it reduce its usage.
Use advance media:
Our daily news papers come which wrapping with plastic if we use advance media and read news paper on internet. We do facebook or twitter all over the day on internet like that if we read that news also that can save trees and plastic consumption.
Puja and other festival in market or shopping:
It is look very bad when we go for puja shopping for every material we purchase in a different poly bags. Isn't it looking odd? If we keep a big jute bag (we find many styles jute bags these days) instead of separate plastic bag that will be more reasonable to carry and more Eco-friendly style.
Plastic bottle substitute
And let’s all remember the problem that is the disposable plastic water bottle. Many alternatives to plastic water bottles are available. Kleen Kanteen and SIIG water bottles are stainless steel safe alternatives to plastic water bottle and are available in many sizes.
