Happy day my readers!
I would like to share with you a short recap from a documentary I watched last Saturday. It refers to the worldwide project which scientists took to estimate ending Holocene epoch and starting Anthropocene epoch.
Holocene started 11.700 years ago. According to the scientists researches, from 1950 we are in the transition to the Anthropocene-epoch based on human influence on the state of the planet.
The researches have been based on different factors:
- Consumption,
- Exploration,
- Atomic bombs testing,
4. Massive plastic production,
5. Deforestation,
Scientists compered their finding and they have noticed drastic high levels of microplastic and nanoplastic. It has been present everywhere including human blood stream.
Plastic is petroleum-based waste converted synthetic and semi-synthetic materials.
Plastic contains polymers. Polymers, particularly microplastic and nanoplastic have harmful effects on human health. Studies suggest that polymers can cause inflammation, cell damage and potentially disrupt various bodily systems.
Did you know that we consume 5 grams of plastic every week.
This tiny pieces are everywhere due to widely used plastic containers, cosmetics, clothes.
Did you know that globally 460 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated annually. Roughly 79% of plastic waste enters oceans-killing wildlife, landfill-poisoning soil and air. Only 9% is recycled.
What we can do about it? We can do a lot!
We can reduce consumption. Shopping wisely: buying less and organic products will minimise trend in producing plastic clothing and containers. Check the label if plastic item is 100% recyclable. Control authorities responsible for recycling. Higher up tax on all products containing plastic. Invest more money in recycling technology. Implement and control habits of clean living.
Without our effort in changing life style we will be living on the Junk Planet and heading to self-destruction.
Without clean air, organic food and clean water we can not exist! We are just humans!
