In today’s life, the word disposable has got too much importance. Almost everything has been replaced by deposable ones. People find their lives easy with the use of these products. For instance, tissues replaced hankies and glass bottles are replaced by plastic bottles. The problem with them is that people don’t know how to dispose of them? Plastic bottles are easy to use and handle as compared to glass bottles but improper means of disposing them creates pollution and becomes a cause of other serious problems.
Some people threw them on streets or give them to their maids hoping that they will sell them to the raddi wallas, who will sell them to the recyclers. They do all this being unaware from the fact that these bottles are misused by fake juice makers. The illegally prepared juice is sold in bazaars, schools and colleges which causes many diseases and can spread infections.
Moreover, children playing in streets pick them up and use it to drink water which causes diseases like diarrhoea. It is not important how to use them but how to dispose them of. The manufacturing authorities of these products should guide the users about proper disposal of these after using so that healthy and protective environment could be ensured.
