How to deal with the plastic bottles?

A Senate hearing heard about the impact of marine plastic pollution on Australian waters. The hearing was informed that a common seabird on the Australian coast was dying from marine plastic pollution - one in every ten young seagulls died of food or plastic chemical contamination.

"It will also happen in other species," says Jennifer Lavas, the biologist of the study, at the hearing. His research partner Ian Hughton said that a bird was found with 274 pieces of plastic in the stomach, accounting for 14% of its weight, "which is equivalent to a person with a pillow of plastic in the stomach."

"Although the problem of marine pollution is as important as the major issues such as global warming and sea-level rise, the research has been a lack of funding for a long time." This is a very serious and ubiquitous threat, and the rapid growth. There is no sign of no stop. "

"Our understanding of these complex issues, including chemical pollution, is very weak, and we have just started from the basic level."

Scientists and environmental groups called for action to address the issue that is seriously affecting marine life. They say that the use of disposable plastics, especially beverages containers, accounts for one third of the plastic found in the sea.

"We have to be more responsible for the packaging of their products," said Ian Kiernam, founder of the Clean Australian Organization. "We are disappointed with many industries, especially in the alcohol and beverage industry, Of the legislation, but we never give up.

He called on the government to introduce, for example, a container refund program in South Australia. He also recommends that the plastic cap be permanently attached to the container, thereby reducing the flow of waste to the waters.

Because most of the plastics are disposable, which can easily become the white pollution, so EPS recycling is very necessary to protect our environment. And then we can reuse it to do some other products.
