Plastics and styrofoam

Plastics + Styrofoam and bottle drinks~

How many polythene plastic bags have you used today?
How many paper bags have you used today?
How many bottle of drinks have you bought and threw in your life?
How many boxes of Styrofoam have you threw in a month?

Lets have a read the article below.

Do you know??
According to some online references which I read before,
paper bags have the highest global warming impact compared to other types of bags.
There is a fact ..according to the US EPA, 70percent more global warming gasses are emitted making a paper than a plastic bag!!!
They cause 50times more water pollution, as well as deforestation!!!!
Believe or not...
10billion paper shopping bags= 14million trees!!!

Some research make by environmentalist have noted that ..the petroleum used to make 14 plastics bags is enough to drive a car a mile
( THIS MEANs THAT 140 plastics bags can drive for 10miles, oil's prices have hiked to USD 141...)

Americans alone throw away 380billion of plastic bags which mean that they have already thrown the amount of plastics which equal to millions barrels of petroleum. This really contribute to global warming, depleting oil supplies and driving up the costs of petroleum based products.


Styrofoam never break down completely to the ground..
Sea animals like eating this plastic foam and it usually kills them and chemicals in Styrofoam cause global warming
; the manufacturing of Styrofoam involves many polluting chemicals harmful to life. Styrofoam is a notorious environmental pollutant and a non-biodegradable substance.


SO??
You guys still want to use those non-biodegradable products?
