Abara Ka Dabra Mr.Plastic (Part 2)

Hello everyone!! Greetings of the day. Today we are going to continue with what we did previously.

Today we are going to understand reuse and recycle

First

Reuse

Re means again and use means to utilize so it means utilizing plastics again without changing its purpose. Let us understand with examples.

Say that you have a sanitizer bottle and then after repeatedly using it the sanitizer is finished.

So what do we usually do in this case?

We throw the bottle but instead of doing that we can fill that bottle again with sanitizer. 

As we reuse our clothes by giving them to our younger sibling similarly we need to reuse plastic. 

Lets see some more examples

-Rather than buying a new soap liquid container every time after the soap is finished, reuse that soap container.

-Rather than disposing of the plastic cutlery only after single use, try to wash and use the plastic cutlery again.

-You can do the same with plastic polythenes etc. Reusing is an excellent way to use both thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics.

Now let us talk about recycling. 

Recycling is the collection of used materials (that would otherwise be waste)  to be broken down and remade into new products. Here comes a question. What can be recycled and what cannot be?

So answer to this question is the segregation of waste. 

We have four dustbins

-Wet Waste

-Dry Waste 

-Sanitary Waste 

-E-waste

The wet waste dustbin is green in colour. In this dustbin, we put vegetable peels, fruit peels, eggshells, fish bones or chicken bones. The waste we put in this can be made into a compost

The dry waste dustbin is blue in colour. In this dustbin, we put plastic bottles, polythenes, straws, newspapers, paper etc. All this waste is recycled.

Note only thermoplastics can be recycled.

The Sanitary waste dustbin is yellow in colour. In this dustbin, we put gloves, masks, shoe covers, pads etc.

The E-waste dustbin is red in colour. In this dustbin, we put the hazardous waste like sims of mobles, refrigerators etc.

See I have started segregation at home-

Segregation in my society

So I start segregation at your home.

That is all for today 

Bye!!

Abara Ka Dabra Mr.Plastic

 Hello everyone!!! Welcome back 🎉🎉🎉🎉!! Today's title suits this part of the blog best!! Let us understand how? 

Ok so firstly check these pictures.

What do you observe? 

My observation

- Lots of garbage ( mostly plastic) 

- Rag Pickers picking the garbage

- Cow eating the garbage

I collected these photos so you can see the worst conditions created by our society. This garbage mountain is present near my locality. Soon it will be one of the famous site of our locality which will also be known as The Kachre Ka Pahad after Ghazipur and Bhalswa. 

All these pictures suggest that lots amount of waste is produced which we throw carelessly. Secondly, we have created sooooooooooooooo (infinite o's) unhygienic conditions for the rag pickers. Thirdly, the cows and other animals are unknowingly swallowing the garbage. 

Now we understand that using plastic has more disadvantages than advantages. So now let's take a step forward and put a magic spell that is Abara ka Dabra which will ultimately help us destroy Mr. Plastic. 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, Repurpose

We will understand every topic in detail

Try to follow those steps and show the change. 

Wait wait. Where are you going? There's more to go. 

-Instead of using plastic toothbrushes use bamboo or wooden toothbrush.
