Your family may leave you, your friends may leave you, society may abandon you, but plastic will always be with you.

[@superiorgames2007]

😂

[@abigailnatashagordon]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@piikabu]

true literally and usually

[@cutestar564]

😢 true,,

[@AnonymousAnonymous-dc3jm]

May the Plastic be with you

[@jinymathew7688]

Government should take strict steps to ban plastics everywhere possible...and each of us do our part by avoiding plastics in our daily lives....

[@rff6866]

Look at the bright side never have to go the plastic surgery

[@sss-kj6fg]

😂😂😂 maybe in the future plastic surgery will mean “a surgery that remove clusters of micro plastic in your body”

[@nisha02menon]

Using glass and earthen vessels and steel utensils may help. Dont throw glass containers of pickles and other articles that come in glass. Wash and use them. Yes they are tedious at first to use but you get habituated. Air we cannot do much.

[@kevinthomas7707]

I'm curious... How in the hell is plastic in the air we breathe?

[@theshillonggirl]

One confession- as a scientific reseacher myself, i am sick of seeing so much of plastic waste everyday in the lab ! We produce tonnes of plastic one time use dishes and what not, with every experiment we do, i never really know where it goes finally !! I feel ashamed to be a part of this sometimes. 😢

[@freyasheart9527]

I am sorry to hear that and understand your dilemma

[@loendsti]

facepalms, plastics can be recycled nicely. in fact plastics are some of the most recyclable materials !

[@loendsti]

tons of plastic? are you for real? ! not even a medium scale plastic parts factory makes such amounts and almost all of the left over plastic gets recycled immediately ! i know a thing or two about plastic, sunshine, i have a very small plastic parts making workshop, i make plastic parts for a living. amount of misinformation that is being pushed against plastics is ridiculous ! are you a paid troll masquerading as a " scientific researcher " ??

[@joechellappanjothi9847]

True. You have selected the best topic to spread awareness among people. I know that the microplastic is a silent killer which is destroying the marine lives. Yes, It is equally bad to human life too.

[@santiswarupgan917]

It is also speculated that due to micro plastic many young people are vulnerable to bowel cancer.

[@Yungking300]

The question is if plastic can ever be detoxed out of body, or have we accidentally added another plaque for cardiovascular doctors to have to worry about going forward.

[@lopamudraray4571]

Good you have done this. My collegues and me have done Research paper on Microplastic for Enviornmental Science dept of Calcutta University in 2019.

[@FounderBenny]

Very serious concern. Thank you Palki Ji.

[@yaanpetrainbam-kalyani5316]

The only way out of this situation is to go back to our old ways of living. All these are the outcomes of just 50 years of our bad habits. Let's refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, repair and repeat so that mother earth can heal. Let's start leading a minimalistic simple life.

[@pematsomo3745]

Global policy n awareness on health hazards from use of Plastic needs worldwide attention & solution. Plastics production should be controlled & made super expensive. Non Biodegradable&Biodegradable alternative to plastic is GLOBALLY NEEDED.

[@mrcodcommando3939]

BIG... Small problem

[@mazedar_tv]

mainly from water

[@Truthlover4ever]

Hats off to our education system, hats off to Govts, hats off to the definition of civilization, hats off to all humans

[@harikrishnanp3722]

What an alarming situation. In this case what would be the condition of animals😮

[@christinecudney7344]

This is a new concern. Plastic was a solution and big business. Now we lernt a new lesson, find a new solution. We are living in a dangerous, polluted, drug infested world. 😢

[@adamyali3585]

You. Are. Right sweety I agree with you ❤😊

[@abdul-jaleelavillah5149]

Interesting

[@saravanaprabu8475]

Ban cosmetics and plastic packaging on foods

[@cutestar564]

Uh no,, Do water filters that are usually made of plastic also contribute to this?

[@tazboy1934]

Distiller

[@divyapari9164]

Assume they do

[@cryptoboi9584]

Electric filters wont contribute.

[@sujok-acupuncture9246]

No. Water filters do not form micro plastic. But any plastic product which is degrading will produce micro plastics. Avoid plastics reacting with heat. This is the reason teflon products are widely considered harmful.

[@876junk]

What are the precautions?????

[@kevinthomas7707]

God help us all. 😢

[@user-ru5xz3lz9c]

Say NO to plastic. Say YES to Palki only. I ❤ Palki.

[@douglascooper1987]

Holy 💩‼️ 😳

[@Chris-mp1kb]

Donate blood every 2-3 months to cleanse yourself.

[@asmrmess]

Women bleed every single month. I wonder if that helps... Are there any gender differences? Did these studies looked into it or ignored women as usual?

[@SovereignIntegral777]

In vaccines too?

[@MountJoyPa]

some in the food production, don't care. Example Jersey Port Cities. They will push their trash and Rubbish into an Outbound Truck`s With Little Disregard for Safety, or Human consumption.

[@rjclue2630]

What you tying to say. Say it in three sentences. Big essay. What you want to get into university 😂 I can’t read so much of bull

[@udaykumara.j.3034]

Is this a prelude to inserting microchip ?

[@Shamika_Shamoo.]

I, being a Hindu Indian, take immense pride in my humble, hardworking, and friendly practices. My unwavering dedication and commitment lie in acquiring the expertise to build advanced toilets, which is a noble pursuit capable of saving countless lives in India and earning me the recognition of a national toilet hero. It deeply saddens me to acknowledge the tragic reality that 15,630 Indian manual scavengers lose their lives worldwide every month due to the dangerous nature of their work. My heart goes out to my beloved country and my condolences to the families affected by this tragedy. Moreover, it is vital to recognize the significant advantages that accompany the presence of toilets, such as the elimination of open defecation, the promotion of cleanliness, and the avoidance of the negative reputation associated with sanitation issues. The humiliation caused by such perceptions is distressing. Let us cease the practice of using areas where we eat, sleep, and pray as toilet spaces.

The humiliation caused by such perceptions is profoundly distressing. It is high time we refrain from using areas where we eat, sleep, and pray as places for toilet usage.

[@KarunanithiNRamachandran]

@@NitaMERCIER-lk9tc What has a toilet got anything to do with a ration of flour in Pakistan .

[@Deepak-hf4cq]

It can ruin neural sensation during play😂.. anyhow this made human life easier but blunted the civilization.

[@RosaFrederiksen-ho4gh]

I ask Allah that production of new plastic get banned everywhere in the world and the use of polyester in clothes and other stuff!

[@douca1]

[@dielaufsocke7642]

Both are the issue

[@billylichov7649]

smells like sponsored research

[@asmrmess]

Sponsored by whom? Farmers? Cause this research goes against any big company. They all use plastics.
