PLASTIC WASTE (by FG-13)

2009
Where do you live? Do you think you are safe from danger? What endanger you? Let's answer the questions. No. 1. We live in Earth. No. 2. I don't think so. Many things can endanger us such as landslide, erosion, flood, vulcanoes eruption, fire, polution and many other. And most of dangerous things are caused by human error. In this project, our team try to tell you about Plastic Waste that can be very dangerous for our health. Is it really? Let's see! Plastic is a kind of material that cannot be discompossed. When plastic waste is thrown everywhere it can damage our soil. When it is thrown into the river, it will cause flood. How should we do to destroy this waste? Burn it ? NO. It will be air polution. What about burrying under soil? No, Don't do that because it cannot discompossed and cause land polution. Polution will cause some deseases and it will endanger our health. One thing that we can do with this waste is to recycle. But it is not easy to do. Beside that it will be very expensive. In our project we ask people to try to use another material to change plastics. What is it ? May be we can use paper or banana leaves like long time ago or another one. Is it possible? Why not?. If everybody realizes how dangerous plastics waste is, we think we can do that. This is our solution.
