Use and throw plastics, but where does it go!

The latest products that we use are mostly packaged products, mostly made up of plastics. The polythene bags that we use in our everyday life for convenience and then dump it in our garbage bags, which again is made up of polythene, lands up in a dump. Just have a look below of how a small scale polythene dump look like.





These plastic/polythene takes thousands of years to degrade. We use it for just few hours or minutes and throw it. We keep on doing it, and while I write now, there must be some tons of plastic being dumped your vicinity, which of course can not be seen now, but the effects of it cannot be concealed.

Well now what to do? Just few simple steps from our side

Minimize the use poly bags

Carry a poly bag(i.e if you already have one else jute bag or cloth bag) when you visit to your local grocer

Keep using the poly bags you already have to make sure that it does not add up to that dump

Spread awareness to the mass

Following the above would not show any direct effect and the earth would not all of sudden start looking green and clean, but at least would not make it more dirty and polluted.

The problem of global warming, polluted water, plastic dumps, has evolved over the years and is a serious problem. It cannot be handled so easily, the solution cannot be that simple at all. But we need to do something towards the problem. So we just take few baby steps and I am sure these would definitely help us to at least contribute our bit to fight the problem.
