One of the stupidest question asked by a child near my house. Yesterday I wrote a blog about Shreya Ghoshal and I planned to write something in entertainment today and upcoming days. Why didn't I choose a topic like this until that child asks ? Am I an irresponsible citizen of India? Or even Am I eligible to be a human too?
A human can THINK about everything before doing. Ask “yourself are you a human?”. Does your mind says yes! Really! Don't you ever throw plastics and wastes on your streets? Answer with your conscience. If you are throwing did you think why I'm a doing this and stop throwing it? No right! Then how we are qualify to be an human? Even animals are better than us. They are 5 sense animals whose having humanity and responsibility. We are even spoiling them by throwing plastics on the street and made then eat it. Why should they eat it? What did they even did?
By eating the chemical in plastics like phthalates, premature births, asthma, cancer, miscarriage, male infertility, premature breast development, and abnormal male sexual development can caused in human. They don't seem like threats now, but in future you're are definitely going to regret it. What happens to cattles when they eat plastic? It accumulates in the stomach, allowing less space for real food, leading to starvation. Milk production will be affected by toxic chemicals entering the bloodstream even from the little amount of plastic. Then why should they eat it? Why are you throwing it on streets?
More than 60 million plastic bottles end up in landfills and incinerators every day – a total of about 22 billion last year. About more than 10 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year. Philippines is the no 1 country in polluting this world with plastic. Our INDIA is in 2nd place for polluting our planet. What an achievement. Literally a shame to me and my country.
STOP buying can stop production!
91% of consumers state that they are concerned about plastic waste issues, fewer than half are less likely to buy a product from non-recycled material. The best solution may not be the same in all societies but taking a life cycle approach can help in setting the base towards the right decision. Businesses that allow consumers to bring their own bags, cups or containers can avoid shopping bags or containers. I will start doing it now on. Will you?
