Have you taken into account that what you throw in the trash still has to go through a process of degradation? Well, if that is not so, check how long it takes everything you throw to break down, and while reading discusses many of these are going to be on earth (water, soil, ground and air), longer than you.
- cans of soda or beer (Aluminum): 10 years
- A piece of chewing gum: 5 years
- plastic bottles (PET): 100 to 1000 years
- disposable polypropylene vessels: 1000 years, but less polluting than the polystyrene plastic
- Dolls: 300 Years
- The tennis (Consisting of leather, cloth, rubber and in some cases, synthetic foams): 200 years
- cigarette butt: of 1 and 2 years
- printed Propaganda: 3 to 4 months
- Glass Bottles: 4000 years
- Tetra Brik (Cellulose, polyethylene and aluminum): 30 years
- Batteries: More than 1000 years.
- plastic bags (polyethylene): 150 years
- Aerosol
- Unicel 30 years: 100 years
- Paper: 1 year, but remember to make 1000 kilos of paper cut 10 trees. Plastic plugs
- (polypropylene): More than 100 years
- Diskettes (Plastic and metal): 100 to 1000 years
- Lighters (plastic and metal): 100 years
- dirty diapers: 100 years Organic waste
- : 3 to 4 weeks
is important to remember that the earth has ways to regenerate, finding a balance in order to absorb what is discarded, while able to reproduce naturally.
Due to this, the combination of different chemicals to create modern products (mentioned in the list) become more complicated absorbed by the earth. This is caused because each element is first separated and thus each will decay, or even some may not degrade.
In conclusion consuming these products, all you do is break the balance, the cycles of life and even ecosystems. So we should think before Do I really need to consume?
