Plastic Bottles

We are surrounded in plastic; phones, clothes, furniture, we store food and drink from it, plastic is very convenient, cheap and versatile but there are many negatives as well as positives in plastic.

Because we humans require 8 glasses of water every day, we carry water bottles with us on the go, this is very useful as the plastic bottle is lightweight and are easily carried. If the bottle gets empty we either throw it away or refill it. By throwing it away, we are contributing to waste that takes a long time to degrade (as plastic is not biodegradable) and this furthers pollution. So it is a better idea to refill or recycle the plastic bottle, by recycling the disposability becomes an advantage. It is recommended to wash out the bottle before refilling as it increases the chances of bacteria growing and so this can worsen your health.
