single use plastics

      We live in a community with disposable items and as if we are free from our garbage.  Marketing and markets also encourage people to constantly need lots of things to be happy.  Without us knowing, landfills began to overflow, oceans were polluted, and landfills were disposed of with billions of tons of waste that could not be decomposed for years and could not be recycled.  We have reached the point where zero movement is really needed for the future of our ecosystem.

     



  When people first hear 'zero waste', the most often heard reaction is "where possible, you can't live without making garbage".  And it is true, in our society it is not easy not to make garbage.  It's not easy to find food without plastic in the supermarket.  We are all part of the flow of economic waste.  Many mistakes that occur in zero lifestyle that makes people who hear the word question and even turn into pessimistic.

         Without waste is a philosophy created as a lifestyle to encourage the life cycle of resources so that products can be reused.  No waste is also a matter of avoiding disposable plastic or plastic that is only used once.  The goal is that waste is not sent to the landfill site.  So zerowaste isn't just about recycling or recycling.  This is a common misconception.  In fact, actually zero waste was started from Garbage, Reducing, and Reusing.

        Plastic straws become a serious problem because plastic straws are difficult to decompose and require a long time. And the ends end at sea which can be fatal to the marine ecosystem and around one third of marine life, including coral reefs and even seabirds, die due to waste  plastic ends up in the ocean.  This situation is very alarming, considering that coral reefs play a major role in protecting the coast from erosion, coastal flooding, and other damaging events caused by seawater phenomena.  Coral reefs are also a place of food and growth for various marine life.

        the amount of plastic waste that is difficult to decipher san takes a long time to decipher it.  Plastic waste should be processed again to produce something useful so that we have taken one step to avoid environmental pollution.  The use of disposable plastic must be reduced because plastic waste causes plastic waste to pollute the environment both on land and at sea. For example, there have been some sharks who died from eating plastic waste.
