With the continuous development of industrialization, the destruction of the environment by human beings has become more and more serious.Not only the decreasing of the forest, the warming of the climate, the increasing amount of non-degradable rubbish such as plastic.
According to World Wide Web, at present, the recycling rate of plastic garbage in the world is extremely low, only 70% of the garbage collected is only 10% recycled, and 3,400 plastic bottles are discarded every second, with 8 million tons flowing into the ocean every year. The beach is full of non-degradable rubbish, not only obstructing but also seriously damaging the marine environment.
According to statistics, over 300 million tons of plastic products are produced worldwide by 2015. It is forecasted that plastics production will double in the next 20 years and to triple to reach 330 million tons by 2050. Because of the difficulty Degradation, we have five trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans today, enough to circumnavigate the Earth for more than 400 weeks. Just think this picture is terrible.
Even more unacceptable is that after the junk into the ocean, but also by seabirds, fish and other eating into the stomach, until the dead, these plastic fragments are still not dissolved in the stomach.
Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. We should reduce the production and use of industrial and civilian plastic containers so that science can serve human existence.
