FACTS:-
Plastic STRAW:-
Over half a billion plastic straws are used every day around the world.Every day in the U.S. alone, people use 500 million straws a day - enough to circle the planet more than two-and-a-half times!
These straws entangle sea mammals and because they’re light and colourful they entice many species to eat them. You’ve seen that heartbreaking video from 2015 of the sea turtle with a straw stuck in its nose; scientists and fishermen have found many fish and seabirds who’ve died from eating all or part of a straw.
So, what do we do about it?
Alternatives:-
Paper straws
Glass straws
Metal straws
Bamboo straws
Straw straws
Pasta straws
Plastic Bottle:-
Globally, more than a million plastic bottles are sold every single minute.
It takes at least 450 years for a plastic bottle to completely degrade.
It is estimated that every year between 5 and 13 billion kilos of plastic waste ends up in the ocean – the equivalent of one full rubbish collection lorry every minute.
Fewer than half of the bottles bought in 2016 were collected for recycling and just 7% of those collected were turned into new bottles. Instead most plastic bottles produced end up in landfill or in the ocean.
So, what do we do about it?
Alternatives:-
Glass bottle
Steel bottle
Ceramic bottle
Plastic bags:-
We use 5 trillion plastic bags per year! That’s 160,000 a second! And over 700 a year for every single person on the planet.
Birds often mistake shredded plastic bags for food, filling their stomachs with toxic debris. For hungry sea turtles, it's nearly impossible to distinguish between jellyfish and floating plastic shopping bags. Fish eat thousands of tons of plastic a year, transferring it up the food chain to bigger fish and marine mammals.
It takes 500 (or more) years for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill.According to Waste Management, only 1 percent of plastic bags are returned for recycling.
So, what do we do about it?
Alternatives:-
Paper Bag(Recycled)
Cotton Bag
Non-woven Bag
Jute Bag
PLASTIC CUTLERY:-
Plastic Cutlery Results In 22,000 Tonnes Of Waste Every Month . disposable cutlery endangers wildlife.A recent study in the San Francisco Bay Area found that food and beverage packaging made up 67 percent of all litter on the streets.
So, what do we do about it?
Steel cutlery
Edible cutlery
Agricultural material based cutlery
