As one generation ago, the culture of disposable goods was much more on a smaller scale, than nowadays. This photo was taken in an abundant house in Zabbar.

Glass bottles, re-usable containers and other recyclable packaging materials could be easily recycled. While plastics can indeed be recycled, they degrade in quality through the recycling process, until eventually plastics can’t be recycled and have to be taken to landfills.

Unfortunately times changed, and major businesses found it more cost-effective to use plastic. If everyone in the world simply make a few changes in the way they consume plastic items, the problem would at least be limited and, with changed attitudes, those in power could slowly mend the damage that’s been done.

I really hope that in the near future, things will get better and there will be more individual awareness.
