This April 22, 2018, the International Mother Earth Day is celebrated. This date was created in 1970, in order to sensitize the world population about the urgent need to change our lifestyles, conserve biodiversity, curb pollution and demand from the authorities concrete actions. The theme of 2018 is to end the contamination of plastics, which flood marine and aquatic ecosystems and are responsible for the deaths of millions of animals around the world. Let's celebrate Earth Day by improving our habits: Join the environmental groups of your locality Save water and energy in your home, work study. Unplug chargers and equipment that you are not using Decrease the use of plastics and recycle all possible containers Recycle other materials (paper, cardboard, metals ...) Plant trees Do not buy wild animals, let them live in freedom
CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE PLASTICS
Every minute, more than two million bags are used in the world. Each one has an average life of 20 minutes and only 5% are recycled. The vast majority end up in rivers and oceans. And they can last hundreds of years to decompose.
For this, Emmaus has managed to list 5 reasons to say no to plastic bags:
They cause the death of several species. Many birds, seals, whales and turtles die every year because they choke or swallow pieces of the bags by confusing them with food.
They pollute the planet. Plastic bags can take between 150 and 1000 years to degrade.
They are made with oil. Oil is used to produce plastic bags, a non-renewable, expensive resource that is increasingly scarce.
Most plastic bags are not recycled. They end up being dragged into forests, oceans, rivers, where a great contamination by plastic is created.
They have toxic materials. Some bags are printed with toxic inks.
The pollution that lives on our planet today is everyone's responsibility and it depends on us to reverse the damage.
That's why at Emmaus we invite you to: Use a cloth bag or paper and join us in the campaign against the use of plastic bags.
