Bitter Truth: Plastic strangles our environment to slow painful death :( Isn't it enough a reason to shun use of ONE-Time Plastic Bottles
Be aware that plastic releases harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources and also the ecosystem. This can cause serious harm to the species that drink the water.
On top of this, the plastic packaging is carelessly thrown away either to be in landfills for life or end-up at a sea-bed endangering marine life.
Remember, what goes round comes around! The plastic in water channels is consumed by those fishes which humans eat, and guess what? we are in-turn eating that plastic through our food.
Studies reveal that 70% of litter on beaches comprises plastic, with items such as straws, cups, and stirrers making up 20%. The marine environment is highly disturbed due to this atrocity!
Human beings, please be responsible. Sustainability is the only way to live! And let (our future generation) live
