Say no to plastic
Every year, around 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. 500,000,000,000. Five hundred followed by nine zeros. That's a lot of bags. So many that over one million bags are being used every minute and they're damaging our environment.
Plastic bags are difficult and costly to recycle and most end up on landfill sites where they take around 300 years to photo degrade. They break down into tiny toxic particles that contaminate the soil and waterways and enter the food chain when animals accidentally ingest them.
Our planet is becoming increasingly contaminated by our unnecessary use of plastic bags.
Each one of us contributes to the problem, Let’s now be willing to be part of the solution to it.
Two Simple Ways You Can Do That
1. Use Reusable Shopping Bags – Jute, Cloth …
2. Reuse A Plastic Bag – Take back that bag to the vendor, next time you visit; or else collect and return at regular intervals.
Our simple acts today, can make a BIG difference tomorrow !
