The solution to the problem of waste and pollution in our world is very simple: reduce the number of plastic bottles that are made every year, and every other plastic bottle that is thrown away. If every single person used reusable containers, the problem of plastic bottles would disappear in a very short time. However, the problem still exists and has not gone away. In fact, it seems to be getting worse every year. So what is the solution to this?
The solution can be found on our own home. One simple way that everyone can help reduce greenhouse gases is to change their household cleaning products to organic materials. The chemicals found in commercial cleaning agents are much more toxic than the natural substances that are used. Organic cleaners will help save the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and they will also help save the planet. It is one of the easiest things you can do for yourself, and for your children, too!
Did you know that the average American uses approximately one million tons of lead in their homes? This is ten billion pounds! With this much lead in our drinking water or on their food, it is no wonder that our children are developing such problems with their lead poisoning. By switching to higher efficiency LED bulbs, you can help save the planet and your family’s health.
The problem that many people have with global warming is not really a problem at all. It is a symptom of something that is wrong within our own environment. The solution to global warming is simple; we need to stop burning fossil fuels like oil and gas, which is one of the main contributors to the problem. Cutting down on the number of plastic bottles being thrown away per person per day will go a long way towards solving the problem.
When people go to the grocery store today, they are faced with a lot more plastic than they were a few years ago. In an effort to solve this problem, several different solutions have been created. One such solution is the production of “green” or “sustainable” plastics. These plastics are much more durable than the traditional polymers used to make plastic. Because of these characteristics, the new plastics are starting to replace the older varieties all over the world.
Another solution being explored is the development of biodegradable packaging. This is another step in the right direction, as studies are showing that we can use nature’s own packaging systems to get a permanent fix to the plastic problem. By using natural ingredients to package soda, juice, beer, and other products, we are learning that we can create an infinitely sustainable product. This, of course, is not an easy task, but with continued research, we are likely to come up with an answer sooner rather than later.
The last thing that you should be doing as a concerned citizen is to “sue the government”. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the way in which it regulates the chemicals that are used in the manufacturing of plastic products. If you want to save the planet, the first thing that you need to do is cut out your soda, your beer, and your juices. Instead, start drinking water, and only buy products that are only made from water. You’ll be amazed at how dramatically your carbon footprint will change just by doing one simple thing.
So, what are you waiting for? Get started today! Chances are that you will find that there are many more options for cutting down on your plastic intake than you ever thought possible. Take charge of your own future today, and start helping to save the planet today!
