Plastic is one of Man's best inventions; it does not rust, it is light, it is cheap, it can be mass produced, it is also very convenient to carry our items in them. However, plastic also cause one of the biggest damage to our environment. It is non-biodegradable and takes hundreds or thousands of years to break down. It poses threat to the wildlife and marine lives who mistake plastic as food.
We can all do our part to manage the use of plastic, using the 3R concept, "Reduce" the use of plastic as much as we can, "Reuse" the plastic bags to contain food waste or others and "Recycle" if we have accumulated too many plastic bags. There are recycling bins everywhere, in shopping centres and underneath every HDB blocks.
What we do today have an impact on the environment, if we dont preserve it, our children and future generations will bear the consequences. Every one of us can influence one another to make a difference through our actions. You don't have to be Leonardo Dicaprio to talk about climate change, every effort counts and creates a big impact when combined :)smile emoticon
