At first, I am going to thank @Anabiya as I am inspired to write this one after reading her article. I liked the concept but I thought there should be more information to let people know the actual scenary. @Hanzell you should have written it earlier as you are a chemical person🙄🙄. Anyways😑😑. Let's have a look how polythene bags are affecting each and every part of our environment.
I don't think there is none who haven't saw a polythene bags. Polythene bags are made of polyethylene which is generally consists of ethylene monomar(Wikipedia). They are non-biodegradable, flexible and non-woven fabric.
Not gonna say much bla bla. Let's head to the topic.
Polythene are very harmful for both our environment and it's objects. It pollutes water, soil, air and the environment. Polythene are non-biodegradable. But I saw, they are photo-degradable and it takes almost 500-1000years for a polythene bag to degrade🙂🙂. The photo degradation creates harmful toxin and carcinogens. The degradation often creates Xylene, Benzene and ethylene oxide.
Our environment is hugely damaged by the polythene. Just see a look at the dusbin here😓.
Google it and you can find hundreds and thousands of this kind of photos. I don't have any words what to say. They not only remain on the earth surface but also enters the layer and block rain water to go into the soil layer😑😑. What's gonna happen if the water don't go all the way round and gets blocked by polythene😑😑. The earth water reserve level will decrease eventually😑😑.
Ohh, not only the soil creatures says hi to polythene, but also he water creature gets to meet them too daily😑😑. See it for yourself😑😑.
I was feeling very angry then when I searched and read some points to write. I mean why they were invented in the first place😑😑😑. And air, I told you about the chemicals and toxins up there and they get mixed with the air and the air is polluted too😒😒😒. Destroyed😑😑.
Let's talk about the animate objects. The soil nutrition is hampered. The toxicity in the soil increases. And the trees are hampered. I am keeping trees in the animate object as I am not sure if it falls under animate or inanmate object😑😑. Just it is hampered😑.
The wildlife is badly hampered too. Like us they don't havebig brains and they engulf them. Sometimes get stuck on them. I said earlier that polythene is not biodegradeabe. They can not digest the polythene they engulf and it's leads to the toxicity in they body, the carcinogen badly effcct their bodies. Even whrn they are killed. The polythene bags continues to pollute the environment😑😑.
I have no idea how many animals are killed by polybags and plastic material every second, every minute, every hour, everyday, everyweek, everymonth, everyyear.
How about human😑😑. They think we are not stupid enough to eat polythene😑😑. Don't forget, they food you eat are contained in polythene. They toxin and carcinogen get mixed with the food and when you eat them. It disrupts your immune system and creats imbalance in the hormone system. So basically the whole environment and wildlife is doomed😑😑. When buring the polybags creates black smoke and pollute air.
How to counter it
Polybags are almost an important part of our life. I am not gonna say stoping using polybags. Just don't throw them here and there. Reuse them. One polybag can be used for numerous amount of time. And take care of your environment clean your environment. Use bags that are biodegradable like bags made of jute. And good news is that scientist are developping microorganisms thatcan degrade the plastic product😍😍. And also biodegradable polybags are on process. As my topic is not that, I am not gonna write in brief. Just to inform you☺☺. Take care of you and your environment.
Finally I am going to thank @Telesfor sir. Nowadays scientific articles are not valued much. I was little disappointed after getting poor reaction to other scientific articles and awareness type posts but sir yesterday inspired me with a upvote☺☺. I thank you for valuing the article and also for correcting me in my other articles☺☺. I am very happy I got your attention a bit and for you proper value and judgement to my articles☺☺. May God bless you sir for inspiring the writers☺☺.
Anyways, thanks everyone for support. If you want to add something to this post. Let me know in comment. I will try to add the facts too☺☺. Hope my article will help you guys☺☺.
Happy posting☺☺☺.
Yes! We promote bio bags here. But sometimes its difficult to assest the buying of liquids. It needs plastics. But we do start bio bags here in my place.
