Are you part of the problem? Yes you are .........

Did you know plastics are terrible for our environment ? Are you aware some countries and cities around the world are banning the use of plastics? 
I hope you know you can recycle your plastics and help save our planet? 

 Wait, let me bring to your knowledge how long it takes for some of this plastics to biodegrade .
How long do you think it takes for your sexy and fancy straws to biodegrade? Do you know? I doubt it, if you did, you wouldn't just dispose them or litter the environment with them. These plastics don't go away, they go to somewhere. Have you heard about  flooding in some states and cities in Nigeria? I hope it doesn't graduate from flooding to tsunami. 

 Now, it takes about 20 years for a plastic bag to biodegrade, does it sound outrageous? Well, it is a fact. Do your research.
How about plastic cups? you want to know? okay 50 years. How about our fancy and sexy looking straws? 200 years, and for some other plastics it takes about 450 years to biodegrade, and this is over eight (8) times the average life expectancy of a Nigerian person .

 Like I said earlier, carry out your own research you would know I am not just overestimating or just telling stories. I am just concerned. I am part of this problem , so are you. we need to start doing something to help our planet.





 Start recycling
