The plastic solution — daily and future

GLOBAL warming is making our Earth hotter, and it is caused by a big group number of product — plastics. Just imagine, you won’t need warm clothes for winter, and you will spend New Year on the beach. Sounds good? Think again, global warming is a huge problem.

Most of the global warming is caused by plastics, which make mostly of the greenhouse gases. In this passage I will introduce three ways of how to recycle and reduce the plastics.

Firstly, for reducing plastic, we can prepare our own drinking bottles that can put every type of drinks in. Stop buying disposable cans and plastic bottles.

We can also bring our own shopping bags when we go shopping.

Secondly, we need to put the garbage into the right bin so that the plastics won’t go to landfill or be put into the ocean to affect other creatures in other parts of the world.

Thirdly, we make things with the waste we made, just like we can use plastic bottles to make vases. We can also use plastic bags again before we put them into the rubbish bin.

Helping the Earth is everyone’s responsibility, take action now — before it’s too late.

Here is an invention I make.

This is a machine called “Underground Botlat Machine.” We can put the bottles to the green part of the machine, and the waste water coming from the apartment will give the machine energy, and it will make the bottles under it flat, so it will not use any electricity, the waste water will still go to the waste water treatment factory.
