Nature reflects our nature
Plastic
“Microplastics in the sea now outnumber
stars in our galaxy.”
This was the motivation behind the theme
of the 2018 World Environment Day. If
this isn't a statement that makes you think
about what humans are doing wrong, then
we're not the smart ones on this planet.

parts, and the glasses that help
most of us see.
Plastic, something that we use daily and has become a part of
our lives, is a necessary evil. More than 50% of the things that
we use daily, are made of different kinds of plastic. Starting from
single use plastic bags, to computer
The problem doesn't only lie in
plastic products. Most of the blame
is on humans. We, as responsible
inhabitants of Earth, should have
an obligation towards managing
the plastic waste we produce. This
means, being accountable for ev-
ery piece of straw you use, every
plastic bag you throw away, every
bottle you drink out of, and every
single wrapper that doesn't make it
to the dustbin. There are hundreds
of recycling plants everywhere that
can convert your plastic waste into
new products. New technologies
are available that can produce
energy out of the huge amount of
plastic waste.
There are endless possibilities,
one need only be ready to take a
step for the planet.
