plastics???is it good for us

is it good to be use plastics and papers????

plastics.........plastics plastics every where???


what it is

A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids used in the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics consist of polymers of high molecular mass, and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce production costs. Monomers of plastic are either natural or synthetic organic compounds.

There are two types of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers . Thermoplastics are the plastics that do not undergo chemical change in their composition when heated and can be moulded again and againsome of the examples are polynomials.really we are surrounded by these plastics and papers every where i still remember that around 10 year's before while buying the flowers the shopkeeper used to give in leaves but now plastics .everywhere plastics really we have to think about this because plastics cannot be decomposed easily especially those of less microns(a very thin one)

recently i went to a marriage in mylapore i saw in dining hall that in table they were using some paper rolls and above that they were placing the banana leaves.And when the lunch was finished they simply rolled the paper rolls and put it into the garbage bin and the placed next set of paper rolls upcoming people .Earlier when no paper rolls were there at that time the banana leaves were directly throwed and the leaves were eaten by cattle but now these stuffs will be directly burned and what about the pollution and all??that's fine still they are using the natural banana leaves recently these leaves are maden into plastics again so what about those cattles who eat those plastic leaves???


matte is that to control the use of plastics we can do it easily if we think we can

the simple steps are

1.use paper bags instead of plastic bags or even u can use the cloth bags

2.do not burn the plastics(avoid burning it)

3.try to reuse the plastic bags

4.avoid getting the polythene bags from shops mainly do not use the polythene with less microns


try these simple steps so that u can save our earth from pollution because these all are in your hands.......
