WHY TO GIVE UP ON PLASTIC
No doubt Plastics are inexpensive and durable making them very adaptable for different uses; as a result, manufacturers choose to use plastic over other materials. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), India generates close to 26,000 tonnes of plastic a day and over 10,000 tonnes a day of plastic waste remains uncollected. However, the chemical structure of most plastics renders them resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as a result they are slow to degrade last on our planet over a thousand year. Together the above factors we allow large volumes of plastic to enter the environment as mismanaged waste and persist in the ecosystem. The accumulation of plastic objects and particles in the Earth's environment that adversely affects humans, wildlife and their habitat. To counter freight environmental impacts, we need to give up on plastic made products and look up on alternative products such as Green Loops.
HOW TO STOP DEFORESTATION
With the number of industries benefiting from trees especially the papermaking industry. As per data from other sources says 27,000 trees are cut down every single day for traditional tree paper production, with huge areas of our planet subject to deforestation. Now, substituting wood with bamboo as the go-to raw material saves the forests and the environment from deforestation and its effects. This is because bamboo is being used to produce the majority of products manufactured with trees and other unsustainable raw materials. Some of these products include bamboo toilet paper, bamboo paper cups, building materials, and bamboo toothbrushes.
HOW TO SAVE SOIL
Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, burning, and backward farming techniques negatively impact the soil. These activities are usually the cause of dreadful natural disasters like floods, desertification, and landslides. Thankfully, bamboo can effectively repair degraded soils and also keep the soil in quality condition. Bamboo is endowed with a well-developed root system coupled with a large rhizome network. This root actively remains in the ground after bamboo has been harvested and can also retain a large amount of water. This in addition to the soil nutrients maintenance properties of the roots, giving you the perfect plant for the prevention of desertification. Also, bamboo leaves are rich in soil repairing and enhancing nutrients that help replenish lost nutrients in damaged soils when they fall on the ground. Hence, it is a nice idea to plant bamboo on degraded land to help prevent desertification and other natural disasters
