Each person can do their part in cleaning up pollution not only in his immediate area but also on a greater scale by being a smart shopper.
Do a search on google or yahoo to locate factories whose production is done with ecology in mind. You can also search for the companies that you usually buy from to find out if that company is doing anything to curb the pollution or add to it by not doing anything.
A good example of a result of a company that should be applauded for their efforts is one that is making energy to power the plant with the junk in a garbage dump. This is certainly amazing technology however, this company manufactures poisonous household cleansers packaged in non-decomposing plastic containers. Even though the plant is run with methods that recycle, the products created tip the scale to the bad side of the scale.
There are items produced that will never decompose such as plastic foam. Many restaurants still use this product for take out food which means that there are factories producing it. As an individual, you don't have to buy the food if it is going to be served in such a container. It may also be beneficial if you wrote to the factory and restaurant to say you as a consumer are not going to buy the containers or get your food served in such a product because it is not safe for the environment.
Plastic bags and plastic containers don't decompose for decades and some never biodegrade. There is a problem with this that is hardly ever mentioned which is, something that is thrown out in a plastic bag doesn't decompose as rapidly as it could which means that your paper or cardboard items in that trash bag may not degrade for centuries. You can do your part and stock up on canvas bags to use when shopping instead of the usual paper or plastic.
With that said, what does one do with his garbage that is usually thrown away in a plastic bag? Do another search online at google or yahoo to locate companies. One such company is truly working to create a better world with rePETe bags that are totally recycled materials. Other searches regarding the same subject will give you pages of results for products to do the job but do not cost much. You can safely use the garbage bags and know that your garbage will decompose within a matter of months, not centuries.
As a note, when you are searching for companies that produce biodegradable garbage bags, you will turn up results also for a substance called polyethylene. Polyethylene can be recycled and used to make items that need to last a long time - like for centuries. But that sales pitch is being used to sell polyethylene garbage bags. Garbage bags get filled with debris, thrown away and wind up in a dump. It is not going to be recycled from there. Millions of polyethylene bags find their way to the dump daily. The contents in the bag are not going to biodegrade until the bag does and that can take hundreds of years.
Shop smart by doing your research first and eliminate from your list the companies and products that are not survival for the planet. Each individual person can have a huge impact on reducing pollution.
