We all know that water is one of the things that we can’t live without it, so it has to be available all the time, we can get it from a lot of places and resources for example during the classes or even when we go shopping we buy water in plastic bottles.
My research will focus on these plastic bottles effects because after being done with these bottles we throw them in the trash or even in different places around the campus without knowing the consequences of this action on the surrounding environment or on our health. knowing that plastic takes years to dissolve, for many reasons if we don’t recycle this plastic, this will affect our environment and our health in a very bad way such as :
- Create plastic pollution in the campus and the surrounding environment, because we don’t know where these bottles are going to end up, maybe on a sidewalk or under a tree … etc.
- One of the best things here in our campus is the natural landscape and throwing the water bottles inside the campus will ruin this view.
- After reading a lot about this subject I found out that if water stays for a long time inside the plastic bottles will end up Bad and will cause health problems for us if we drink it.
- The process of manufacturing plastic and turning it into bottles contribute to the increase of carbon footprint as one 500-milliliter bottle has a total carbon footprint equal to 82.8 grams of carbon dioxide.
In the next blog I will identify the solution of this problem and how can we deal with it in the right way
