Plastic Bag, The Silent Killer
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Plastic Bag, The Silent Killer
KNOW or not, plastic materials require 100 to 500 years for lupus if grown and if burned it gives a greater impact on the environment, including humans.
And there are studies that show statistically Malaysians plastic waste can be recycled actually worth about RM163 million.
Quantities is not only wasteful and should be recycled, but at the same time it is also damaging to the environment. In other words, society is less sensitive to environmental conditions are deteriorating without taking a serious approach.
In any case, there is little awareness in which Penang, Selangor and Sarawak successfully announced Day Without Plastic and seen a bit of sparkle to bumi.Malah not just two states, a shopping complex, higher education institutions, companies and local products much to take similar initiatives to reduce the use of plastic or not at all.
But why plastic on the agenda in environmental conservation.
"Non-use of plastic is the main problem but the disposition of the materials that have an impact on the environment," a spontaneous response to the President of the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), Tan Sri Dr. Salleh Mohd Nor on the use of plastic bags in Malaysia.
In an interview conducted before this, Dr. Salleh said plastic bags can provide the greatest threat in the absence of careful planning on the management of waste plastic materials.
He said: "Plastic requires more than the usual recycling programs and the technology used must be efficient to solve this issue.
"So why until now, we have not been able to set strict rules, such as is done by some European countries, which requires users to bring their own bags or known as the Green Bag instead of plastic bags when shopping."
One other statistics say, on average, in Malaysia, a person uses about eight plastic bags a week and some of them throw the bag after only worn once.
Not much is known why a lightweight material, not easy to break, and cheap is a threat to the environment if the reader does not read scientific journals and papers.
Clear, plastic bag containing a substance known as volatile organic compounds Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate known as DEHP or phthalates (pronounced THA-lates), a substance that will make plastic soft and pliable.
Researchers at Harvard University in 2002 managed to make new discoveries about the effects of phthalates chemicals that can damage the DNA of human sperm.
Although manufacturers claim doses of phthalates used in compliance with the standard conditions of production, but in the long term, consumers are actually exposed continuously to these chemicals that can harm humans.
The cause is from us, then we are able to solve them. What do you say, starting today, avoid using plastic bags.
