Stop All Plastic

We Aim For a PLASTIC-FREE Future

the problem

the main problem is that plastic has become such a major part of our daily lives and consumtion, however it has a huge negative so relant on plastic in household goods, packing, electronics, cars, and more that it's hard to imagine our lives without plastic.This makes it easy for us to ignore the situation, because we want to try and find a replacement for plastic.However, in recent years, scientist have been working on several repacement types of plastic developed from corn and other biodegrable matter.These types are a lot better since they can dissolve before animals get sutck inside them and not have a lasting impact on the environment.

plastic is bad

do not use plastic it is bad and it will destroy our environment. 

plastic are rarely recycled and reused by humans,  the pieces of plastic are dumped into the ocean.

when fish eats them, it gets stuck in the stomach. when we eat fish we eat the plastic in them.

plastic will always stay in our world in varies forms, but they will never decompose.

please stop using plastic, save the world we all live on.

Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles

The breakthrough, spurred by the discovery of plastic-eating bugs at a Japanese dump, could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis

Scientists have created a mutant enzyme that breaks down plastic drinks bottles – by accident. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.

The new research was spurred by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic, at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.

The international team then tweaked the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had inadvertently made the molecule even better at breaking down the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic used for soft drink bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said Prof John McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK, who led the research. “It’s great and a real finding.”

Plastic pollution ! The power of plastic! This turtle likely crawled through a discarded plastic ring of a 6-pack of beer or soda when it was a baby, and now is being forever strangled in a plastic hangman’s noose!

The good news about plastic pollution? We know exactly where it comes from! Every day—especially Earth Day—is an opportunity to make better choices, and to be encouraged that as we learn from our mistakes, we can all help make this the last photo of its kind.

From a recent return trip, Justin reports that public pressure and nationwide changes are coming to the region—just as they are around the world—to address the plastic pollution that has been ignored for too long in our global backyard.

Little by little–and sometimes with big changes all at once—things are improving. From local plastic bag bans to statewide No Straw Novembers to national single-use plastic shutdowns, there’s good news on the way. Thanks all for doing your part! We’re getting better even today.
