Minimize the Carbon foot print.
It would be very hard to conveince the goverment to lay down the rules to protect the envrioment, as this would lead this article to a wrong directions. But we as grown-up always worry about future of our children and grand-childrens. We want to save money for there education, save real-estate or property for there living, save on retirement but have ever thought of saving oxygen or this environment on which we depend. Have we ever made a small decission that i would not use plastic - no matter what happens. Frankly tell me what are the implications that we stop using plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic boxes, - this would not make lay-offs but this would rather increase the job market as the vary company producing this would have to invest in to producing degradable bags, boxes, bottles - more jobs and less danger to environment and our future.
I totally agreee that taking plastic off completely is not possible, but we can minimize the use.
Here are some way to do that
1) after you done grocerry shopping please ask them to use Paper Bags - as the bags are generally thrown away once the Items reach home.
2) Generally carry a reusable water bottle - saying no to “Plastic bottled Water” but we can refill it using the “Big Water Dispenser” - every thing supplied from the same company who makes the “plastic bottled water”.
3) Please say no to StyroFoam (Polystyrene) - cups or glasses - this Styrofoam is very hard material and would not degrade easily. Please search online to findout why i am asking not to use this. Let companies making them innovate themselves as one Water-company supplying bottled water to us already started supplying “small - paper cups” which is used to drink water and then discard.
The cups - glasses are used for hot/cold beverages,water, ice etc etc, but one can have there own “Mug” and reduce it use.
4) we can use Paper plates & bowls instead of styrofoam plates & bowls.
5) Recycle - yes i do agree that in gettogether, parties,picnics we cannot do it with out plastics forks, knifes, spoons but please recycle them. Ask the people to seperate them out when discarding.
