Interesting Post. Open space for us to discuss.
our lives are so close to plastic. Even though we know platics are not easily broken down and require a very long time, it does not mean we cannot do anything.
When I was a kid, more food packages used banana leaves or other decent leaves. However, at the moment we find it difficult to find banana leaves to cook food. while plastic manufacturers see great opportunities to sell plastics for various purposes.
The synergy between the needs and availability of goods makes the capital holders compete to produce plastic, from straws, spoons, plates and even plastic bags.
In my opinion, we don't need to be too plastic. but trying to reduce its use. if you only have to use plastic, just don't overdo it. for example, we shop for a small item that can be inserted into a pocket without a plastic bag. Do not need to ask for plastic or ask for items not to be placed in plastic containers.
We can also make used plastic creations for decoration. We can make various accessories using plastic straws. We can even make shopping bags from plastic packaging detergent, cooking oil or snacks.
In our area, a waste bank has also begun to be developed. community members collect garbage that has economic value to be weighed and rewarded money that will be accumulated in a savings.
We live in Indonesia and feel that plastic is a waste that is very annoying because every time there is a crowd, plastic becomes a problem that cannot be left behind.
Need an appropriate solution to overcome it. and in a world that wants to restore lam better, plastic is a challenge for everyone. not only activists who want to be famous, but loyal involvement of people to reduce plastic use
