As Earth Day me and my mom watch the premier of The Story of Plastic at discovery channel this afternoon. The amount of plastic that is produce is unbelieavable. Under that silver lining oil companies are making profit extracting chemicals that harms not only environment, animals but also humans more likely to have risk developing carcinogen, and respiratory problems due to ingestion of chemicals. at the same time incineration of these single use plastic were no where to go but to the developing countries. Plastics are not actually being recycled. The only reason recycling is happening is due to poverty unequal distribution of income they are the one dealing with our garbage. There is a solution way out of this is to boycott plastic product. The key is to stop the supply creating new plants by going to policy or writing legislation paper. We survived without plastic before everything is unpacked but for convenience everyone would rather want the packed ready to eat, on the go, fast foods, that is the new economy. Behind that there will be harm in future its actually happening now. I love the documentary but I first fell in love with the book of "story of stuff" and you can also visit their youtube account.
