Last exit: revolutionize the way plastic is used

I am not collecting seashells or smooth white stones at the seashore anymore, but a plastic waste. Our behavior is changing in daily lives. The rapidly approaching danger in the planet and people’s lives needs more attention than ever before. The development in human being is destroying itself. New developments are needed to repair damages, unfortunately it is started to become very late. Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal. The reputation of plastics has suffered further thanks to a growing concern about the potential threat they pose to human health. Plastics contain additives (such as the much-discussed bisphenol A [BPA] and a class of chemicals called phthalates) making them more flexible, durable, and transparent which leach out into our food, water, and bodies. In very high doses these chemicals can disrupt the endocrine (or hormonal) system. Researchers worry particularly about the effects of these chemicals on children and what continued accumulation means for future generations. Plastic became a special target because, while so many plastic products are disposable, plastic lasts forever in the environment.
