Advocating responsible use of plastics

Advocating responsible use of plastics Pix for representational purpose only/REUTERS PETALING JAYA: Plastics have had a bad reputation for decades now. It is non-biodegradable, and used and discarded plastic items end up in oceans, posing a threat to marine life. However, according to producers and recyclers of the material, such a label is unjustified. Plastics by itself does not pollute. The fault lies with people – how they use it and dispose of it is the problem. As the Malaysia Plastic Recyclers Association (MPRA) pointed out recently, migrating from a linear economy now to a circular economy in the use of plastics is sustainable for the environment.

Cutting methane quickly is world s best hope to slow global warming, UN says

Cutting the super-potent greenhouse gas methane quickly and dramatically is the world’s best hope to slow and limit the worst of global warming, a new United Nations report says. If human-caused methane emissions are cut by nearly in half by 2030, a half degree (0.3 degrees Celsius) of warming can be prevented by mid-century, according to Thursday s report by the United Nations Environment Programme. The report said the methane reduction would be relatively inexpensive and could be achieved – by plugging leaks in pipelines, stopping venting of natural gas during energy drilling, capturing gas from landfills and reducing methane from belching livestock and other agricultural sources, which is the biggest challenge.
