Any ideas how to reduce plastic usage?, 23°

It is known to every one that plastics does harm to nature, both land,water and air. Still no government wants to ban the use of plastics. The plastic drinking bottles are a real harm to the land. It pollutes the air while burning. So i would really insist the government to really ban the plastics and start using the alternatives. The citizens of the mother earth we are also responsible for saving the planet earth. So folks , what do you think the real alternative of plastics? Do you agree in the necessity for banning unwanted plastic products?

I definitely think there should be an alternative to plastic when it comes to packaging.

Although it's good to see some companies recycling plastic to use has alternative building solutions. For example:

- Ecological bricks
- Miniwiz Polli-bricks
- Byfusion building blocks

I really like what Miniwiz does with plastic bottles. They actually convert old ones into interlocking bottles that can be used as building material.

There's so much unwanted plastic floating around and I really hope this idea takes off for general commercial and residential use.

One thing I did to reduce my plastic usage was to stop buying bottled water. The main reason I drank bottled water to begin with was that the tap water in my town was just TERRIBLE tasting so I didn't have a choice. As soon as I moved to a new city I bought a single container that I use for my water. No more stupid plastic bottles!

Bottled water are definitely culprits when it comes to environmental suitability. Although people think all plastic bottles get recycled, only 25% of them make it to recycling plants.

I actually checked out the MINIWIZ website and something else that was brought to my attention was I.T. waste. With new technology being released at an exponential rate, I think this is something we should be aware about and start implementing I.T. recycle facilities such as this one:
