  2. DO YOU KNOW • When you eat or drink things stored in plastic, plastic is incorporated into you. • S0 ? • It causes immune and enzyme disorders, hormonal disruption leading to endocrinal disorders and even infertility and is also considered as carcinogenic (cancer). • Not only human health, it dangerously effects other animal life and alters the environmental (air,water and soil)sustainability causing hazardous pollution.

  3. Plastics: Your Formidable Enemy • Plastic is ubiquitous in our lives because it is convenient and Relatively inexpensive. • It is convenience comes from being lightweight and its ability to absorb impact shock without breaking, which on its own merit, is hard to argue with. • Plastics are so versatile in use that their impacts the environment are extremely wide ranging, posing serious challenge for disposal

  4. UNCONCERNED ACT Careless disposal of plastic bags chokes drains, blocks the porosity of the soil,and causes problems for groundwaterrecharge.. Due to its non-biodegradable nature, littering of plastics causes irreversible damage to the environment. Municipalities routinely receive reports of death of cows and other animals from ingesting plastic bags.

  5. ALTERNATIVES Plastic bags take between 15 to 1000 years to degrade.The detoxins and other chemical pollutants released fromthem are a Serious Threat to be Tackled.Designing eco-friendly, biodegradable plastics is the need of the hour. Though partially biodegradable plastics have been developed and used, completely biodegradable plastics based onrenewable starch rather than petrochemicals have only recently been developed and are in the early stages of commercialization. Paper , Cloth, Jute, Cane, etc., are the most preferable but still controversial

  6. FIGHT AGAINST • To save your environment and thereby your self • Say NO to plastic check-out bags whilst shopping and buy reusable bags or bring your own for your shopping instead • Use of Glass / Ceramic instead of plastic in Microwave.• Replace plastic travel mugs with stainless steel for hot beverages. • When you can’t avoid plastic, check container bottoms for recycling codes (in triangle with chasing arrows). Choose those easily recycled.

  7. OUR RESPONSIBILITY • It's impossible to eliminate most plastic from daily life, but it's prudent for our health and that of our environmentto curb the use of some.Overall reduction in plastic usage, proper management for disposal and public awareness would bring a great difference in present situation. • Separate .. Store..and hand over for proper recycling or disposal. • Do not let plastic litter the environment. SAVE EARTH
