PLASTIC AND PLASTIC RECYCLING
HI ALL. I AM FRUSTRATED ABOUT THIS POLLUTION BUSINESS.A LADY FROM THE CHENNAI MUNICIPALITY HAD COME TO MY DOOR TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE SEGREGATION OF PLASTIC WASTE AND WHEN I TOLD HER THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME BUT THE HOUSE KEEPING LADIES IN OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX SELL OFF THE PLASTIC WASTE TO KABADIWALAHS, SHE TOLD ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?.IMAGINE!!! A PUBLIC SERVANT SAYING SUCH THINGS!!!
THEN WHAT IS THE USE OF SEGREGATING WASTE?I CAN SELL THE PLASTIC TO A KABADIWALAH AND EARN SOME MONEY MYSELF.AND THE PLASTIC IS SOLD TO A DEALER AND GETS RECYCLED.IN WATER SCARCE CHENNAI THE POOR WHO CANNOT AFFORD COSTLY CONTAINERS TO STORE WATER USE RECYCLED PLASTIC PITCHERS IN ALL RAINBOW COLORS WITHOUT REALISING THAT THEY ARE HARBORING CANCER PRODUCING SUBSTANCES IN THEIR HOMES.AND ALL THE FAMILIES INCLUDING SMALL CHILDREN ARE PRONE TO CANCER.
AND THIS IS ALL RECYCLED CARCINOGENIC PLASTIC.I GOT REALLY ANNOYED WITH THAT LADY FOR SAYING THAT IT IS NOT WRONG FOR THE HOUSE KEEPING LADIES TO SELL THE PLASTIC.A GOVERNMENT SERVANT FROM THE CORPORATION SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT.MAYBE SHE WAS INVOLVED IN THE PLASTIC SELLING SCAM...
AND DO YOU KNOW THAT TOYS AND EVEN PACIFIERS FOR BABIES ARE SOMETIMES MADE OUT OF RECYCLED PLASTIC.NO WONDER THE INCIDENCE OF CANCER HAS INCREASED IN PUBLIC BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.HENCE THE NEED TO CREATE AWARENESS IN THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DANGERS OF PLASTIC AND RECYCLED PLASTIC.
IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CELEBRATE WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAYS.WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED IS THE GOVERNMENTS TO FORM SPECIFIC GROUPS WHO CAN GO AND EXPLAIN ABOUT THE CARCINOGENIC AND OTHER HARMFUL EFFECTS OF PLASTIC AND RECYCLED PLASTIC TO THE PUBLIC BOTH URBAN AND RURAL.THESE GROUPS MUST TRAVEL TO EACH AND EVERY VILLAGE AND TOWN AND EXPLAIN ABOUT THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF PLASTIC.WITH PHOTO SLIDES AND AUDIO VISUAL SHOWS INCLUDING PICTURES OF CANCER PATIENTS.
I AM NOT TOTALLY AGAINST PLASTIC CARRY BAGS.THEY CAN BE USED TO CARRY CLOTHES ETC IF MADE FROM GOOD QUALITY PLASTIC.BUT DEFINITELY NO FOOD SUBSTANCE.SOMETIME BACK I HAD A MAID WHO REFUSED TO TAKE LEFT OVER FOOD PACKED IN A POLYTHENE BAG!!!SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG .I SHOULD NOT HAVE PACKED THAT FOOD IN PLASTIC.KUDOS TO THAT MAID SERVANT.
COMING BACK TO THE SUBJECT, USING GOOD GRADE PLASTIC IS NOT BAD FOR CARRYING NON FOOD SUBSTANCES.BUT PROPER DISPOSAL OF THAT PLASTIC IS ESSENTIAL.I HEAR THAT THE TAMILNADU MUNICIPALITY HAS INSTALLED PLASTIC DISPOSAL MACHINES.BUT GOOD USE OF THOSE MACHINES WILL BE HAMPERED DUE TO THE INNOCENT HOUSE KEEPING LADIES,THE IGNORANT MUNICIPALITY STAFF AND UNSCRUPULOUS KABADIWALAHS AND PLASTIC DEALERS AND OF COURSE THE PLASTIC RECYCLING PLANTS!!!
BANNING PLASTIC ALTOGETHER LIKE THE TAMILNADU GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO FROM JANUARY 2019 IS NOT THE SOLUTION.IT WILL AFFECT MANY SMALL PLASTIC FACTORIES,THE WORKERS AND OWNERS.THEY WILL COME TO THE ROAD.MAYBE A GRADUAL TRANSFORMATION WILL WORK.BUT PLASTIC IS DEFINITELY NOT ADVISABLE FOR FOOD SUBSTANCES.
MY BROTHER HARIHARAN HAS INTRODUCED GLASS CONTAINERS IN HIS HOUSE SINCE A LONG TIME.HE DOES NOT USE PLASTIC AND CARRIES CLOTH BAGS WITH HIM TO PURCHASE EATABLES.VERY COMMENDABLE OF HIM.I AM TRYING TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.I HAVE STOPPED USING PLASTIC CONTAINERS IN MY MICROWAVE OVEN.WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE IN ANOTHER BLOG.
