There is no doubt that plastic
is becoming an increasing issue in the world and everyone knows how it affects
the soil, underground water, and oceans. The
commercial use of plastic is increasing that a threat for the environment
because plastic not very easily disposes of
in natural circumstances. In the supermarket,
the use of plastic is also very high that results in a lot of trash every day,
the matter of concern is that the plastic bags used in the supermarket are for
single use and not reused by the shoppers. It is true that for any country
sustainability is equally important like development and progress. It is very good that Singapore is going to realize
the need for reducing plastic use in the country. I think for doing this, it is very important6 to spread awareness
in public regarding the impact of plastic
on the planet.
The plastic pollution is already a big problem for the planet, and if we do not do something
about it, the situation can become worst.
The companies that are using plastic products should go for other alternatives
of plastic for example as it is mentioned
in the paper the water bottles can be replaced
with pitchers and glass, and in the
shopping malls, the use of paper bags
should be encouraged. To make Singapore more eco-friendly company, it
is essential to reduce the use of plastic on a commercial and personal level, and
laws should be made about it.
The use of biodegradable material for the supermarkets
and other business is a good option as it can dispose in natural circumstances
and are also more environmentally
friendly. The government of the country needs to take essential steps to make the business and public more conscious of
their plastic use, and with proper legalization, the use of plastic can be reduced to make Singapore a sustainable and eco-friendly nation. If the government of the country keeps
on making companies and individual aware and liable for their plastic use, they
can be successful in making Singapore a sustainable and plastic-lite country.
