It’s a wrong notion developed in common man that Plastic is hazardous and we should not use Plastic. Plastic had made us convenient with any food item, vegetables, water, medicine, garments, stationary, jewelery, toothpaste, shampoo, washing powder, food grains, vegetable oil, milk, fruits & many more available anytime anywhere. It has made our life easy. It has given employment & livelihood to lacs of people which always a concern for Any Government.
It has replaced paper and thus saved lot of tree to be cut which is very much essential to stop global warming.
Plastic waste of course is a concern only when it is not collected and reused. All Plastic is recycled and reused. It is our responsibility to throw this Plastic or any wastage in Dustin so can be sent for recycling. We need to change our habits and not ban Plastic. We can also generate electricity from any plastic waste with hardly 1% residue. Where as thousand of trees & lacs of liters of water is used to manufacture paper. This contaminated water is disposed in River or sea and thus polluting environment.
Plastic is made out of byproduct left after processing of crude oil which is extracted from sea. So why No to Plastic?? Iron ore used for making metal is depleting our land. Paper is taking away our trees & pushing us towards global warming.
So when we say ban Plastic..are we talking so save environment?? Whom should we blame? A civilian who throws thrashes not in Dustin? Or Municipal Corporation who has not developed efficient system to collect waste & pass their inability & failure to Plastic users?
Shouldn’t this Politicians stop playing with common man life and taking political mileage?
Mobile has made our easy but at the same it is taking away our away our mental peace. It has made distance in relationship. It is also generating e-waste which is not recyclable. Should we Ban use & sale of mobile?? Car, bikes, trucks emits lot of Co2 so should we Ban car and stop manufacturing all vehicles? Air-condition emits lot of hot air so should we Ban Air-condition?? Lot of hazardous chemicals are used for agriculture which causes cancer & death of farmers. Can’t we Ban them and go for organic immediately? I can give you many such example which we should Ban immediately.
Should we Ban Plastic??? Do we want to go to 18th century???should we not correct our habits rather than banning all products & gadgets?? Can’t we make rational use of all resources so we make our next generation life better?
Now Can you think of replacing Plastic with paper???
