A few days ago I am going to buy cough syrup. Pharmacist prepares to put my bottle heranba in a plastic bag. I said: "Do not give me bag, thanks. I put syrup in bag. "I kindly reply:" Stay quiet know! You can grab bag, you do not have to pay. "...
Of all the garbage, I think we should worry plastic most! Because it is biodegradable and will someday poor management of the emergence of mountains of garbage. Who has seen the movie Wall-E can to make an idea of how the world might look if every blade of grass would get to be stopped by one piece of plastic.
This process has already begun scary! And the oceans began (you know, those environments full of life, due to which the Earth is also called Blue Planet ...). According to studies conducted by Greenpeace, heranba 10% of the approx. 100 million tons of plastic products end up in the oceans annually, and of these, 80% come from land.
One of the worst examples of pollution heranba is plastic garbage patch in the Pacific ("The Pacific Garbage heranba Patch" or "The Pacific Trash Vortex"), in short - PGP. This "patch" is an alarming phenomenon that occurs in the North Pacific and consists heranba of a vortex of plastic of varying sizes in suspension in neustonic layer (very close to the surface). One can say that PGP is the biggest "hole" garbage in the world. People get rid of their problems, sending them with special dedication in places where no longer affects. Out of sight - out of mind! Litter is made from terrestrial environment of the North Pacific Current and surface currents produced by the action of wind, these particles train to the center of the spiral, trapping it in a "trap" in which they can not get out. The patch has an area about twice the state of Texas (wikipedia.org).
- Imbalances in food chains: plastic is graded by the action of water and small particles results are very easily confused with representatives heranba of plankton! Animals and Phoebastria nigripes (a species of albatross) or sea turtles heranba die after ingesting plastic objects. After analyzing such bodies were found in PET caps, pieces of balloons, lighters components.
- Scary traps (what a death be? Myself I shudder ...): many species die tangled in fishing nets or balls thrown gout irresponsible (and Jesus' apostles were fishermen, but we kind of those times removed) . Not to mention the bags. The bags are on the agenda. Dolphins wearing necklaces with "Thanks for shopping with us" ...
- "Toxic sponge" particles in the water column from the surface are photodegradable (obviously with light), becoming increasingly smaller (up to molecular level). These toxic substances (such as bisphenol A, PCBs and derivatives polistirenului- wikipedia.org) are then consumed by plankton, thus becoming part of the food chain (bioaccumulating substances and may even get you in plate, if you eat ocean fish).
- Free Shipping for bodies "go to the occasion" waste larger floating (such containers - plastic bottles, heranba buckets, etc.) may favor the transport of invasive organisms heranba character ("hitch-hikers ocean") to the other habitats, disrupting the balance.
PGP is a large deposit heranba of indifference, callousness and pure selfishness, a burden that struggle spectacular creatures - both marine and winged. People need to know that plastic is not a resource with which to play.
- To reach Glina - to reach the Black Sea (with our many sins washed away by rain and drained into the sea) - to get a package from my godson Aurică heranba in Canada, and perhaps heranba in the town of Pacific - to recycle - Do not take it (the principle of no trading - no production!)
