The overuse of plastics in our everyday life has led to the presence of traces of plastic in most of the food chain. Microplastics are present in most fish and natural resources and unless serious measures are taken, the situation is quickly nearing a critical point.

This plant is getting the water needed to grow but it is getting excess of it and so it is harming the plant which might eventually kill it. This small pond of water came from the rain that fell around this container thus water is being wasted instead of being used efficiently.

The impact of human civilisation has left very few spaces of natural beauty untouched. When developing, a balance between progress and natural resources need to be found. One cannot be at the cost of the other.

Life is like a boomerang – what you give is what you get. This is what is happening – a lot of waste is being thrown away carelessly by humans without thinking about the consequences. As a result, this waste is being misplaced and is ending up in our food chain. Unfortunately our oceans are becoming very popular in being referred to as the new dumping sites.

Unfortunately a lot of microplastics are ending up in the oceans. Such microplastics are being eaten up by the marine animals themselves. It is getting worse as time goes by. So are we getting the right nutrients from such fish or are we eating plastic?

Not all that glitters is gold! The shiny apple is coated in wax which is unnecessary and potentially toxic, even if it makes the apple appear more attractive. People tend to favour shiny ones – its appearance mimics freshness and flavour…but that is not necessarily the case! Eating natural produce that is not refined or processed is always a healthier option and poses less threats on our health and less demands on our planet. Even if they look less attractive, going for a natural option, the way mother nature intended, is often a better choice.

As civilisation develops, green areas and places of natural beauty are being compromised and are diminishing to drastic points. Our interaction with nature should leave environments in a healthy or better state, rather than damaging it.

This snail’s natural habitat is supposed to be surrounded by plants and other animals and not waste. The overuse of plastics and their careless disposal into our environment is leading to it having extensively infiltrated our food chain and natural spaces. Moreover, animals such as this snail are ending up in the wrong place such as in this case, the plastic bottle, and are eventually left to die.
