The doctor thought it would be hard in the probe a rare victor whale that was found stranded in shallow waters. Every attempt to herd it back to the open sea failed the whale was weekend emaciated and eventually had to be euthanized.

On the shore here comes from britain or big ships many of the bags and bottles have disintegrated into bits and pieces for the plastic collectors its a never ending task. That thermally the deeper you dig the more you turn up its pretty frustrating after this experience ill be even more careful about using plastic and ill make sure that i dispose of it properly. So that they somehow. Even the snaps the volunteers have brought along are sealed in plastic avoiding plastic entirely isnt easy. And i didnt. Think i last saw it but now we want to put pressure on industry in the government to look for alternatives to the use of plastic but for me personally id like to keep on catching lobster here in the sea at my doorstep and id like my kids to be able to do that to them at. Barlow and also. Just 4 hours of work have yielded 5 trash bags filled with plastic. That home room to go search posts what theyve achieved on the internet the site keeps track of every section of coastline the Collection Team cleans up given the length of norways coastline thats a herculean task. But meanwhile every Political Party in the country supports the initiative. The view is. The studies have shown that for every quarter or euro the state spends on supporting the volunteer effort it gets 10 times that value back in return 1st because of the clean up work itself but also because of the way to boost environmental awareness and social solidarity. We want to go sure and other activists have had a plaque set up at the place where this environment. Initiative began in memory of the whale that came to such a painful end here and then log on with a stomach full of plastic you brought us the message about what is happening to the oceans thank you for waking us up out of the us.

Now in most cities around india freshen hot food is delivered at your doorstep at the click of a button while this is immensely convenient what many of us dont calculate is the amount of plastic used in packaging this food and how easily it becomes trash once the food is consumed some Food Delivery Companies in the country are trying to teach this.

I can put bread and us but where am i supposed to put the curry the lentils and the chutney the things that make it worth the price.

It seems the id city bangalore is on track to finding Innovative Solutions in different fields in the Digital Space and also in the real world. A 1000000 plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute the demand is driven by an apparently insatiable desire for bottled water and the spread of a west store. On the go culture a German Company is offering the solution. By making the usable glass bottles fashionable. Tap water is one of the safest things you can drink in germany yet more and more people are buying bottled water. Its just water there is no better. Is the c. E. O. Of soul bottles a startup in berlin that produces glass bottles that you can refill. His mission is to stop people using plastic bottles. So you take the bottles for. The mistakes. We make in germany so we can educate them out of transportation emissions and we make them from up to 80 percent of recycled materials. The caps are made with rubber and metal while the packaging used for shipping the bottles is partially obtained from recycled paper. The company has so far sold more than 700000 bottles. Part of the Purchase Price is donated to water initiatives with the goal of improving Drinking Water supplies in developing countries like nepal and uganda. This includes drilling water wells providing hand pumps and teaching local communities how to use and maintain them water is the most purchased beverage in germany 65 percent of people drink bottled water every single day but this is something completely unnecessary and most of the Water Bottles generally found in supermarkets are made of plastic. Its completely irrational to have past think that we use for such. A short period of time and then throw away and it just adds up to giant piles of waste the problem is that plastic usually down cycles because plastic decreases in quality the more time to recycle it and obviously this process also uses up the energy so its not a 0 sum game reusing is better than recycling. With more and more countries taking steps towards banning Single Use Plastics glass could experience a revival. But theres a downside a lot of energy is needed to produce glass and as it is heavier than plastic its transportation is less energy efficient. Over can say the plastic could be substituted entirely of a glass but theres a lot of things that we can think. Just get away from single use thats every ridiculous thing. Sold bottles is capitalizing on the latest green trend. Refillable drinking bottle definitely is kind of the new have one to make it cool and sexy and fun to drink tap water so the package is important yet for us the kind of like the bottle is a very strong messenger for a mission and their impact. But a soul bottle comes with a hefty price tag a small 1. 00 sells for more than 20 euros several times more expensive than similar glass bottles the reason for the price is that weve really tried to guarantee as much as possible a fair supply chain so for example we can compensate all our Carbon Emissions we call collate the very strictly and then pay a few so we can offset those emissions. This elegant glass bottle might not be an affordable option for everyone but tap water tastes even better when drunk with a clear conscience from a glass bottle. Im sure you remember that heart breaking image of a plastic stroll being removed from the nostril of a sea turtle a few years back the entire planet is having to be for rampant and indiscriminate use of plastics i hope you will be mindful of this the next time your difficulty is in disposable plastic boxes or when your waste is not segregated correctly well be back next week with yet another informative episode until then good bye.
