E-motion – Ep 04 – Myths about using disposable plastic products

It’s well-known that the world is becoming awash with low-quality goods that we don’t give a second thought to. When we return from a vacation, we often leave behind food leftovers that we flush down the toilet or throw into containers and toss in the garbage. We’re continually tossing stuff away, whether it’s a single item or perhaps…everything. As a result, we’ve also created plastics, which take decades to biodegrade, making them harmful and poisonous trash since not only are they exceedingly challenging to break down. It was canceled, but the number has become so high that it’s mind-boggling.

The number of media campaigns, teams, groups, clubs, and organizations promoting sustainable lifestyles is also rising. Changing our way of life also entails making sacrifices, and we ran across several horror tales when we first began practicing green and sustainable living. However, what will be covered in this podcast episode is how to utilize it to limit the effect of single-use plastic, whether it can replace plastic, and some fallacies about using alternatives with the label “environmentally friendly.”
