LIFE CHANGING DECISION
Most of the materials produced
nowadays are made of plastic, why? It is because plastic is non-biodegrade,
easily mass produce and cheap. Plastic has many advantages, and we, humans only
see their usefulness to us but we didn’t see its disadvantages to our
environment. The real victim here is us, because our environment can survive
but we, humans, cannot exist if our environment gets destroyed. Tons of plastic wastes are dumped in landfill
areas every day. Our land cannot decay this much plastic in a short span, but
it needs years to decompose to become part of soil again. This plastic
endangered many animal species, and let too many catastrophes to humans, like
landslide and floods. In my life
changing decision, I bring my utensils, rice and an extra container so plastic
will not be used. I used to buy “ulam” from carinderia, which uses Styrofoam,
plastic utensils and plastic bags. I told the vendor to put the “ulam” in my
extra container so that use of plastic is avoided. One evidence that I will
start this routine is, I buy siomaio from Henlin and I told the vendor to put
it in my container so I will prevent the use of plastic. Another thing is, I bring a water container bottle, in this way I prevent the use of plastic and save money as well. I think in this 2 simple way in my life changing decision, I am able to save
the environment for the future generations.
