“PLASTICS IS A HERO NOT A VILLAIN”
Single Use Plastics have become a life saver during COVID19
Plastics was the villain until January 2020, suddenly a change happened and now plastics have become a HERO. Environmentalists are quiet because they are all using plastics in some or the other way, either as hand wash or hand sanitizers filled in plastics bottles, even the cotton N95 mask is made out of Polymer and Plastics.
If you look at the current scenario, Plastics is becoming the life saver instead of a villain. Even the plastic carry bags are being used during the pandemic and you can’t blame anyone because plastics can save life in such situations and the only material that can be produced fast.
Everyone who talked about Plastics being bad for the Environment, where have they gone? What are they wearing? Plastics mask and other protective gears. The fact that plastics have become a life saver proves that it was not the culprit, but our own habits, in making the environment not good for living.
