Plastic

Clean Up Island 08.06.2019

Hello, dear readers,

yesterday the team of Boa Vista Water Sport has joined in a Clean Up of the island Djeu. With many volunteers together we have the island so well went from plastic with relief. After half a day in the sun we could create approx. 1 tonne of plastic of the island what was very frightening, because we had not walked round yet sometimes half an island. Besides, came that I have read a study from Germany, we the recycling world champion which our cleanly separate garbage is intended not so cleanly as. more than 80% go to countries like China, Malysia etc. as an export good. Today, hence, I would like to remind everybody to save plastic and avoid.

- Uses more away bags

- Buys glass packaging instead of plastic

- Do not let yourself from biology promise fehlleiten, Bsp. Dog excrement packaging from biomaterial is not able of recycling cost vast amounts and have to go in the normal refuse bin

- Looks after alternatives to the plastic packaging, there is recently packaging from material really capable of recycling

- If you go for a walk and find with it garbage and every day only 3 parts take have removed her one year more than 1000 packaging from the nature

- If it goes not at all differently than of falling back on plastic then leave the Umverpackungen in the stores if it to those becomes too much with the work, allow to occur itself already what for the reduction of the mountain of the packaging

If we contribute all only one small part to it and do not think, "What I can cause then already?", we will get to preserve our environment with lasting effect and changes to the change in thinking move.

Another subject which virtually on the higher subject Plastic is belonged Microplastik, many can start nothing with the concept and, hence, I would want it as the last taking up. Microplastik is artificial (in creams or peelings) or an unintentional product. Make a distinction it does not do itself, however, one is wanted, the other is a process itself by ultraviolet rays forms. To everybody it might be clear that a sea inhabitant no plastic bottle in the piece will eat, this contradicts his temperament. If now this aforesaid plastic bottle on the beach lies longer and is put out to the sun the chemical disposals (tenderizer) are evaporated and back a hard, friable lump remains a plastic with the smallest touch in 1000 small parts disintegrates. Now it becomes dangerous! These Kleinstteile land by wind and weather in rivers and sea and are eaten by the living beings there. It might be clear the plastic neither by the person nor by animals can be digested therefore there remains in the stomach and prevents the admission of right food, therefore of the animal will die.

Please, allow to do to us all only one small step to make this world better and healthier.

Dear greetings

Henning
