Over 25 years china imported 106000000. 00 metric tons or 45 percent of all Plastic Waste and china will only buy Plastic Waste that is 99. 9 percent pure in other words recyclable exporters mostly from rich nations scramble to find new markets such was the scale of chinas imports countries like malaysia indonesia thailand and vietnam were soon swapped and unable to cope it took the philippines 6 years to send 60 con
A toxic mix of rubber and a host of other chemicals. Researchers at the university of vienna were able to prove in the lab that substances from tires accumulate and let us plans via from up the tire were part of collaborative. Just the chemicals and tires can be absorbed by plants and metabolized in plants. So they could potentially wind up on consumers plates coming each year around 100000. 00 tons of tire where particles, a crew on roads in germany alone. Tires are the source of most of the micro plastic and the environment. Car tires are technical marvels as the only connection between the vehicles on the road. They need to have a good grip roll quietly. And last for a long time to do that, hundreds of chemicals are added to them via sewer systems.

At the same time thought when we have in such a marvelous habitat, the 1st question is naturally, how would they survive . So thats what were doing is were measuring photosynthesis with this device.
And how we can make a difference. Knowledge grows through sharing. Download it now for the whole has a color and its green.
