Assalamualaikum wr wb...
Greetings to us all My name is Rizky Aprillia Excavatory. I come from SPENMA BJB (SMP Negeri 5 Banjarbaru). You can call me Exca I've got some hobbies in photography and aviation.
On this occasion, I will explain to all of you the dangers of plastic waste on the environment. Now, you all must know what plastic waste is, right? It's common to find plastic waste on the streets, rivers, and in your surroundings. Do you know the dangers of plastic waste for the environment?
Plastic waste falls into the category of inorganic waste, which comes from non-biodegradable materials that are difficult to decompose, such as plastics, glass, metals, and other synthetic products.
Here are some examples of inorganic waste:
-Plastic waste -Glass -Bottles And so on.
Inorganic waste has a very negative impact on the environment and public health if not managed properly. Here are some negative impacts of inorganic waste:
-Unpleasant odors -Unsightly views -Decreased public health -Flooding -Environmental pollution, such as soil and water pollution
Wow... That's really dangerous, right? Even so, there are still many people out there who throw plastic waste carelessly, even though plastic waste is very hazardous...
So, what can we do to properly reduce plastic (inorganic) waste? There are many ways to save our ailing planet because of the large amount of littering. Here are ways to reduce plastic (inorganic) waste:
1.Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Prioritize waste reduction by cutting back on consumption. Reuse items as much as possible, and recycle materials like paper, plastics, and metals.
2.Compost: Turn organic waste into compost to enrich the soil, reduce waste in landfills, and lower methane emissions.
3.Choose Sustainable Products: Find for products with minimal packaging, made from recycled materials or that are biodegradable.
4.Buy in Bulk: Purchase items in bulk to reduce packaging waste and save money.
5.Repair Instead of Replace: Fix broken items rather than discarding them, extending their lifespan and reducing waste.
6.Educate and Advocate: Raise awareness about waste reduction practices in your community, encouraging others to adopt sustainable habits.
7.Practice Mindful Consumption: Think critically about your purchases and only buy what you truly need.
By applying these methods in our daily lives, we and the community can significantly reduce waste and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Now, friends... Plastic waste can also be transformed into very interesting creations! For example, if you don’t have a pencil case, instead of buying one, you can use an unused plastic bottle to make a pencil case. Wow! Isn’t that interesting?
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s reduce plastic waste to minimize its negative impact.
That’s all I can share. If there are any mistakes, I apologize. Also follow my Instagram!!: @010_excathoraphy I, Exca, sign out...
