Why is avoiding plastic essential?

Posted by Keshav Jain on


                  Plastic has become an indispensable commodity in Man’s life. Plastic is everywhere. We encounter it wherever we go. Are our lunch boxes made of plastic? We eat our take-away food in plastic plates with plastic forks. The list of plastic materials is  endless.



                  Do you know that according to EDN, an electronics industry website, over 100,000 marine animals and one million birds die from ingesting and choking on plastic each year? Let us all take the pledge today to eliminate unnecessary plastic from our life. Let us start using reusable water bottles, travel mugs, and grocery bags.



                 Let us avoid disposable water bottles. The best options are stainless steel water bottles, which contain no dangerous toxic material, which you find in plastic bottles. Say no to plastic straws. Store your food in glass or stainless steel containers. Though it may be easy to store leftovers in plastic containers, if we try to heat these plastic containers, they become toxic.
