We can't control others but we can do something,..a single step for myself and for my family...i recycle some plastic bottles,i make them flower pots for hanging or something.

Earth can live without us but humanity cannot survive without earth.

One fact about plastic bottles released into the sea, the breakdown with time and their particles are picked up or eaten by little microscopic plants and animals, which then finds is way to other larger fishes and then humans. A microscopic plastic fragment was found in the placenta of a human. The only place it could have been gotten from is from the fishes we eat.

WE DESTROY OUR OWN PLANET

Together we can change the ecosystem, let's try to stop dumping refuses and wastages anyhow into the river,the best thing we can do is recycle it and make it useful to humans once again.

Here in my country everyone is selfish ..they just think about themselves except thinking about the environment...we really should look forward it in order to save our surrounding from pollution

I know something about this... All these debris usually saturates the water bodies, thereby causing a drop in the dissolved oxygen for tgr the respiration of aquatic life. Soon, some marine organisms begin to die and the cycle keeps going. Thereby leading to water pollution which could also affect humans.

I just hope that people will become more disciplined. But as I observe, human race is the cruelest species on earth. we have minds and hearts but we just took away the things that God gives in order to live really well...

It's a bit weird that you post this kind of article tho u came from hell hahahahahh..

Some people are really abusive Luci especially here in my country but mostly in the Luzon part. If you can see all the rubbish are everywhere.

that is why I hate those people who don't know how to properly dispose of their garbage.. especially the one who just throw everywhere

This is one of the major problems not only in our country but the whole world. In fact, the rising effects of water pollution is so much visible nowadays. Very alarming. Thanks for this article!

Everyone should really start taking care of our nature and discipline themselves to dispose trash properly. No matter how we campaigh, if we dont have the cooperation from others, it would be hard for us

Action they say speaks louder than words.. the real thing isn't about spending money hosting seminars while after the seminar the bottles are wrongly dumped. Let sit and stand to do what's right. Together we can

Everything must come to ourselves first because posting photos doesn't help without doing any action. You're absolutely right luci

We humans must be responsible enough to take care of our surroundings and also mother nature. There's a lot of people who's irresponsible in their trash, plastic bottles or even straws, or any trash can harm other creatures, others and nature. Even I myself go one time at a seminar about cleaning and improving nature but I saw it with my own eyes how one of committee just leave hes trash and don't put it properly where it must belong. So I really don't believe om words but on actions.

I feel guilty with this. No matter what I do, I cannot deny the fact that I am one of the people who irresponsibly throw their garbages anywhere. However, I am trying my best to change it and be a better inhabitant of this planet.

Unfortunately, people do not understand the need to protect nature. And pollute the environment

If only all people had self-discipline on how to take good care of our Mother Earth maybe we could not suffer many calamities if there is but less.

I cannot stand plastic, and wherever possible do not use it When I go for my walks in the beach or the park I am always picking up plastic bottles that idiots leave behind.

Truth is a lot of human activities actually affect nature and we are not creating enough awareness. Neither are people taking it seriously. That's why posts like this should be made more often. Say once a week

Nice and very informative read. Recently some colleges here raised a campaign against plastics. As such the government has also directed all the shops to stop using plastics bags for supply of goods. Now its being replaced by newspaper.

People need to care much more about the environment. It's sad. Protests are currently taking place in my country because the government has agreed with a foreign company to dig lithium in the most beautiful part of the country where nature is most beautiful and that lithium mining is dangerous and harmful to the environment.

Dear Lucifer, you raised a very good topic. Even though there has been a culture of not throwing away plastic waste for years, I don't know why there is still so much plastic and plastic bottles everywhere when we go to nature. This is very painful, why some of us can not be responsible for our environment. When I see the pictures of the animals whose plastic waste endangered their health, my heart burns...

I feel sad to hear the way we are polluting the environment, not only for humans but for other creatures too. Its true we need to work on it to completely get rid of it.

Throwing plastic bottles or similar stuff like this is very bad for our environment. because of too much plastic use and throwing anywhere in our world making a lot of diseases which is very sad. our people most stop that and throw it in dust bin or maybe don't use plastic.

Ahem. I totally agree with you, but not exactly.... not that plastic is not pollution. It's a problem all over the world. I will say this - ordinary people (like you and me) would sincerely like not to do it. BUT!!! It's all about the power that stands above us, yes, I mean officials. Why do not they create enterprises for the recycling of plastics? There are some, but very few! And if there is no recycling, there is trash on every corner!

The best thing to do after using plastic is to dispose it.

We can bring great change in our environment if one by one we will participate and commit on doing small and little acts of saving the environment. It would always start from a single act, a single step done habitually would be fruitful in the end.

Plastic bottles are not biodegradable. They stay in the ocean for so many years and cause harm to the aquatic life and even pollutes our soil and water supply

One of the best topic that you chose and give us awareness about it because it's really agreed point very dangerous for our environment and we use it and then do through anywhere

yeah really plastic is dangerous for us and it also harms sea creatures

Lucifer, when I give a thought about topics like these global issues I just have this feeling that our future is doomed.

They are polluting the ocean and it's not good for both the aquatic life and we humans.

Indeed, they are mate. It will destroy our mother nature.

These plastic bottles poison the soil as well, hence resulting in food poisoning years later. It kills aquatic animals as well. Recycling is the only way way save is from thus mess.

Many ocean friends died because of plastics, when their bellies were opened, you could see what they've ingested. I do hope that we all be united in cleaning the ocean. Let us all do our part.

Plastic can really cause pollution, and we are responsible to keep our environment clean. Here in our country, many people are collecting plastic as they can earn money from plastic, cans and cartoons and even in papers so you cannot see plastic of drinking water everywhere as they are being collected by people, aside from those plastic bags.

You highlighted the issue in a very good way. Plastic bottles if they are managed they could be very beneficial you are very right. We can make different designs using plastic bottles can plant different plants in that plastic bottles, they ate recycled ♽ to make other plastic goods, hope your article will bring a positive change in reader's minds.
