Let’s Talk About Plastic! If you want to do your bit to improve the environment, it’s actually easier than you think. Just by making a few simple changes around your home, you can make a huge difference.
Let’s take plastic, for example. By choosing products made using alternative materials - such as bamboo - you can help reduce pollution and landfill, decrease our reliance on oil and other synthetics, and improve your health.
Did you know the first fully synthetic plastic was invented in 1907 - by accident? Whatever he was actually trying to do, Leo Hendrik Baekeland came up with a material that changed the world. First Global Report
So cheap, versatile and non-flammable, plastic offered thousands of uses, from bottles and storage containers to furniture and even grass. We embraced it with enthusiasm, not really understanding the long-term consequences.
Therefore the results of the first global analysis of all the plastic ever made have just been released. And of the 8. 3 billion metric tons of plastic produced, 6. 3 billion metric tons go to landfill. Of that, just nine per cent is recycled.
Add to that the fact that plastic takes more than 400 years to degrade, and it’s easy to see why everyone needs to make desperate changes.
Bamboo is a great alternative. Of course, the idea is not new. Many civilisations have used bamboo for centuries. From weapons and tools to clothing and food, it has been a staple for eastern cultures.
The western world may have been a little slower to catch on but, thankfully, bamboo products are now available and affordable. Here are some items you could easily integrate into your home. Bamboo Clothing and Bedding
While pioneered in China, the use of bamboo fibre for clothing and bedding was a breakthrough. So socks, jocks, pants, tops, sheets, blankets, pillows . you name it, you can buy it. And the environment isn’t the only one to benefit!
