Answer 1

Hiii machiii ✋.


➡️ The The manufacture of plastic, as well as its destruction by incineration, pollutes air, land and water and exposes workers to toxic chemicals, including carcinogens.

➡️ Synthetic plastic does not biodegrade. It just sits and accumulates in landfills or pollutes the environment.

➡️ Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment.

➡️ Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.

PAPER COFFEE CUPS

How many of us purchase a coffee on the go? If you get a coffee on the way to work each day you consume on average 240 disposable cups per year; and even if you only buy one once a week, that still totals 52. The most environmentally friendly in a reusable mug.

2. BOXES OF TEA BAGS

On the subject of hot drinks, buying boxes of tea bags generates a lot of cardboard and plastic waste, while the staple and string must be removed before putting the single-use tea bag into the compost (if compostable at all).

Plastic bottles for water and other cold beverages are a big problem in the world of disposable items and plastics, with 1,500 plastic water bottles being consumed every second in the U.S. Carry a water bottle when expecting to need to rehydrate on the go, selecting a reusable bottle that doesn’t contain Bisphenol A (BPA) because it’s linked to several health problems, including breast and prostate cancer. Bobble even makes a water bottle that comes with its own filter enabling you to refill it from any tap.

4. DISPOSABLE CUTLERY

We can use a new set of disposable cutlery each day if we get lunch on the go or order a take-away; and although we’re now being offered wooden compostable versions of the plastic set, there is no need for disposable cutlery at all.

5. PLASTIC BAGS

It is recognised that plastic bags are bad for the environment, yet it is estimated between 500 billion and one trillion are used worldwide each year, the bulk of which end up in landfill (taking up to 1,000 years to decompose).

6. PRODUCE BAGS

It’s great to eliminate the use of plastic bags at the checkout but we also want to avoid plastic bag use when selecting our produce.

7. DISPOSABLE SINGLE-USE RAZORS

With blades made from inexpensive steel and handles made from cheap plastic, disposable razors have always been made for single-use. .



DISPOSABLE CLEANING CLOTHS

Disposable cleaning cloths are one of many single-use cleaning products available.
