WHY WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT SINGLE-USE PLASTC.
We have been convinced for years that single-use plastic is a necessity in this fast-paced, consumer driven culture that has been force on us. We have been offered false disposable plastic solutions like recycling as an antidote to the massive amounts of disposable plastic waste when most single-use plastic is simply burned and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
Here are just a few negative impacts of single-use plastic:
Disposable plastic items don’t biodegrade. They just break down into micro particles that contaminate our environment.
Microplastics, smaller plastic particles that result from single use plastic breaking down, pollute our water sources and even our food.
The single-use plastic trade and resulting plastic pollution disproportionately affects poorer and disadvantaged communities.
