Voice of climate-by Naseem Sheikh

Watch this video to learn how micro-plastics are making their way into our atmosphere and raining back down on the earth. We know that the consumption of microplastic and presence of  Plastic in air are negatively affecting the health of plants and animals but what does this mean for us. Thank you Seeker for providing us with this complex information in such a digestible form (unlike micro-plastics.) In order for us to solve this serious issue we must first begin to understand the complexity and extent of the problem. So we now know that we must not only sequester carbon from our atmosphere but we must also remove the airborne micro-plastics and learn how to reduce the the constant flow of micro-plastics making their way into our atmosphere, the air that we breathe, the water that we drink and the food we eat. Obviously the best thing we can do as individuals to contribute to the solution(s) of this enormous, seemingly insurmountable problem is to reduce our use of plastics partic...

Scientists have known for years that plastic pollution can exacerbate climatic and health hazards, but our understanding of their connection has evolved significantly in recent years. Plastic are persistently present in our daily consumable items for examples contact lenses. Contact lenses are regularly prepared from a mixture of acrylic glass, silicones and fluoropolymers that permits companies to create a softer plastic material which permits oxygen to pass through to the eye. Every year, worldwide a number of consumers were using contact lenses for their vision needs and for their fashion demands. After specific time period their consumption date expired and they disposed of in simple garbage bin or flush out in washrooms. Recent research conducted in American university proved that Americans flush 2.6 to 2.9 billion contact lenses down the drain. By accumulation this litter and studying how it persists in this environment, the study provides the first estimate of the potential...
