Plastic Drinking water bottles - A menace



How many of us have seen this??How many of us are practising this??.Using the same old plastic bottle to drink water and than throw it in the dustbin.These bottles get mixed with the regular paper wastes/garbages and later on poses great difficulty in disposing.

There are situations where using a plastic bottle may be very much necessary,but what about in other situations.

Following things needs to be practised,for better environment upkeep.


  • Take your own water bottles(food grade and not low grade plastic bottles) to office.Fill it with the drinking water available.This would avoid,throwing away plastic bottles after one gulp.You can use your bottle for months together,thus avoiding daily dump

  • Advice your family members also on this.Advice you collegues on the importance of not using new plastic bottles everyday,and throwing the used one

  • Advice you company administration department on the plastic menance and also cost reduction of not using new plastic bottles everyday.

Protection of environment and prevention of pollution must start from "YOU".Never develop the attitude that one person i.e YOU not caring for environment will not have negative impact.Just imagine what will happen if 1000 people think like you.


SAY NO TO PLASTICS !
