Hello everyone It's me again @Oslec08 Today's topic is about Garbage re-cycling, I'm living in the Philippines ranks as the world’s third biggest polluter, with 2.7 million metric tonnes of plastic waste generated each year.
Did you know that?
1 million plastic bags are used every minutes?
Dead sperm whale found in Indonesia had ingested '6 kg of plastic' A dead sperm whale that washed ashore in a national park in Indonesia had nearly 6 kg (13 lbs) of plastic waste in its stomach, park officials say. Items found 1000 pieces of plastics included 115 drinking cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags and two flip-flops.
Only 5% of plastics only are recycled it’s because of improper ways of disposing our trash or garbage, throwing anywhere or simply means littering and improper ways of segregating garbage from recyclable waste and non-recyclable waste. If this would continue according to UN report it’s possible that there will be more plastics or garbage in the ocean than the fish in the year 2050.
There is Unlimited ways to fix our problem with garbage
1. Proper Waste Segregation
Waste segregation is included in law because it is much easier to recycle. Effective segregation of wastes means that less waste goes to landfill which makes it cheaper and better for people and the environment. It is also important to segregate for public health to avoid pollution.
2. From Recycled Plastics to Useful Chairs
Filipino Engineer Winchester Lemen is a mechanical engineer from the southern Philippines and runs Envirotech Waste Recycling to turn plastic garbage into chairs. Envirotech Waste Recycling (EWRI) began making chairs when a visitor came to his plant to ask if he could make something from recycled plastic, and the engineer presented prototype chairs made of melted plastic from landfills. The plastic garbage is collected, shredded, cleaned, melted and molded. After that, they are assembled, sanded and painted.
Plastic waste needs to be addressed because it’s filling up trash bins and landfills with this kind of idea it helps clean the environment, create jobs and livelihood, convert them into school chairs, tables and shelter.
3. Plastic Bottles can be Used as a Pot for a plant
4. Plastic can be turn into bags
