We've all heard about the dangers of single use plastic, but why is it such a problem? In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the reasons why single use plastic is the enemy of the environment.
Single use plastic is one of the biggest environmental problems we face today. Every year, millions of tons of single use plastic are produced, and a significant portion of that ends up in our oceans. This has devastating consequences for marine life, as well as for the health of our planet as a whole.🌎
Here are just a few reasons why single use plastic is such a problem:
1. It's Non-biodegradable ♻️
One of the biggest problems with single use plastic is that it's non-biodegradable. This means that it can take hundreds or even thousands of years to break down. That means that every piece of single use plastic ever produced is still in existence somewhere on our planet. And as more and more plastic is produced, our planet is becoming increasingly choked with this non-biodegradable waste.
2. It's Harmful to Marine Life 🐋
Another big problem with single use plastic is that it's harmful to marine life. When animals ingest or become entangled in plastic, it can cause them serious harm or even kill them. And as more and more plastic ends up in our oceans, the problem is only getting worse. Every year, countless marine animals are killed by ingesting or becoming entangled in plastics.
3. It's a Threat to Human Health 🏥
Not only is single use plastic harmful to animals, but it's also a threat to human health. Plastic contains harmful chemicals that can leach into food and water, and when we ingest these chemicals they can cause serious health problems. Additionally, plastics production and incineration release harmful pollutants into the air that we breathe, which can also cause health problems.
Single use plastic is a major environmental problem that we need to address urgently. It's non-biodegradable, harmful to both marine life and human health, and it's only getting worse as more and more plastic is produced each year. We need to find ways to reduce our reliance on single use plastic and move towards more sustainable alternatives if we want to protect our planet and its inhabitants.
This is why we brought booheads to market to aid the transition to natural material usage that is highly sustainable.
