Plastic Waste
Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture
resistant, strong, and relatively inexpensive. Those are the attractive qualities
that lead us, around the world, to such a voracious appetite and
over-consumption of plastic goods. However, durable and very slow to degrade,
plastic materials that are used in the production of so many products all,
ultimately, become waste with staying power. Our tremendous attraction to
plastic, coupled with an undeniable behavioral propensity of increasingly
over-consuming, discarding, littering and thus polluting, has become a
combination of lethal nature.
With a slight change in the formula of plastic, which allows
oil to be replaced by limestone, a group of Chilean entrepreneurs has managed
to manufacture plastic bags and reusable cloths that are water soluble and do
not pollute.
We Trinis need to adopt a better approach with respect to plastic usage and disposal. Too many inconsiderate disposal which pollute our water courses and lead to flooding. If we do this, add a biodegradable touch to plastic and adopt a reuse and recycle, mentality, our environment will smile with change
