Welcome to Earth and Health Care Council
Polythene bags, now known as carry bags, is one of the thing which we use daily. When we see the hands of people, those who are going to market, grocery store, meat shop we can see these polythene bags. These polythene bags are dangerous. After we use it, we dumped these polythene bags with biodegradable waste instead of separation. After few days, we burn the waste. Burning of these polythene bags will pollute the airspace. Because of this, a great danger awaits for sky and earth. The heat of polythene produces a poisonous gas called Dioxin. This poisonous gas will cause cancer. If we inhale this gas, it causes wheezing, lung and heart problems. These polythene bags shrink the earth and sterilize the land. Although people know the dangers of polythene bags, still they use such polythene bags which is harmful to our life and environment and also they are selfish and do not care about future generations. As we people, we must work together and protect the environment from this impact.
How to prevent the burning of polythene bags with biodegradable waste:
1.As we people, we collect the non-biodegradable waste like polythene bags and handover it to the recycling companies. In this way, we can avoid the environmental pollution instead of burning polythene bags.
2.Officials from panchayat to corporation should do their duties properly and take action to the people those who thrown the polythene bags into streets.
