    Very educational it's a learning experience for me, we go about our daily lives, the thought of pollution never cross our minds, for me personally the more content I become less population I create, it also need government intervention to clean up the mess that's already there

    I guess all packaging could change from plastic to glass bottles/containers?

    i just realised now that MISWAK which you can call natural toothbrush will remove your Toothbrush and toothpaste plastic so do use miswak

    I would like to know what is the solution for ocean pollution, this is really devastating, how can we reduce plastic footprint?

    • @apolloismydad
      @apolloismydad ปีที่แล้ว

      Plastic footprint can be reduced by creating a sort of “cycle” for the production of plastic. Yes, it is indeed the 3R’s, but at a much more advanced and practical rate

    Concerned countries are looking for solutions to this problem. Countries such as Great Britain have set goals to eliminate single-use plastic, some of which have already been put into place. Bans and restrictions on a range of polluting single-use plastic items came into force on October first of 2023. Single-use plastic cutlery, balloon sticks, polystyrene cups and food containers can now no longer be sold in England, and the supply of single-use plastic plates, trays and bowls has also been restricted.

    I have to take medication - well, I choose to because I want to function. Pharmacies will not dispense medications in plastic drugs nor will they reuse medication bottles. I asked.

    Bamboo toothbrush can use inplace of plastic toothbrush.

    No real solution said here. Plastic industry is not going to do it. Alot of wishful thinking but i don't see the world changing. Sad.

    Didn't hear any solutions just that companies should stop using it, but what will corporates replace it with. Very few alternative at the price

    Wellsley, are you not wearing plastic shoes? How do you decide what plastic you will allow in your life and which you will ban?

    • @lenahuynh72
      @lenahuynh72 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      she just mentioned, the companies really give us no choice. we can't escape plastic unless the companies do something to change that.
