Animals and humans have common traits since both are driven by instincts to ensure their survival. Each member of the species has a designated role and responsibilities in a society. They both have families and offsprings who need to be nurtured. We work, eat, rest,and parent . For an impressively long time this wonderful earth planet, the human civilization existed peacefully in the world.
But one consideration that sets humans apart is the ability to construct and imagination. Humans have utilized the materials within the environment and made opportunities. It has been into our advantage, to reinterpret this world for our purposes. It was not the case for the animals.
The increasing waste production worldwide has developed into an alarming issue because of its ecological impacts primarily on marine ecosystems where marine animals especially fishes, birds and also some tiny creatures like planktons that exist in that environment are greatly affected by the presence of plastic waste. The issue of plastics is made worse by all when the life cycle of a plastic bottle can live for centuries which makes their decomposition not possible in a short period of time.
While plastic debris is somehow confused with food by most aquatic animals, there are actual microplastics as they fragment into smaller pieces. More species, including fish, sea turtles, seabirds, and sometimes large marine mammals ingest plastics. Such plastics cause physical harm through actualized internal injuries, digestive blockages, and starvation death because the plastic occupies space in the stomach, preventing the real food items from ingestion.
Currently there are 358 trillion particles drifting in the surface waters of the worlds oceans with approximately 14 million tons gathering, at the seabed. These particles have spread to remote regions and even reached the deepest sediments posing a significant danger, to the marine ecosystem.
Sea turtles heavily rely on jellyfish as a food source, in their diet. Sometimes mistake plastic bags for these creatures when feeding in the ocean waters. Unfortunately they are unable to process these plastic items resulting in instances where the turtles face suffocation. Similarly seabirds have been found with amounts of plastic material, in their stomach, which hinders their ability to absorb nutrients effectively leading to malnutrition issues.
Many seals and sea lions still have plastic bands and fishing nets embedded around their necks and with time, the material cuts into their flesh. Another by accident associated issue is whales have a great deal of weight and are usually wrapped in huge chunks of plastic compounds which are even on the upper triacetin or head and deplete their swimming capability and savaging of air which will as a result make the creatures drown after some time.
Plastic is affordable material that we often rely upon without considering the impact of our selfish and greedy actions when we prioritize convenience, over the well being of others around us—one that has escalated into a pressing concern, in recent times.
Gabletop Pak to the rescue! Seventy four per cent paper board, twenty one per cent PE (inner + outside lining), and five per cent metal make up the Gable Top containers. There is 88% less plastic in these boxes, which results in a 72% lower carbon footprint. The product is simple to clean and repurpose several times. Its recyclable and refillable design contributes to reducing the usage of plastics and excessive resource consumption.
Gable Top cartons offer an outstanding reputation for their overall performance and have triangles on the tops. They can preserve moisture content material that is not most effective, the consistency of juice or water; however, even if it is heavy like milk, the internal masking will not get spoiled. Items with an extended shelf lifestyle encompass dried pasta, pet food, or powdered egg whites. Containers of this type can also be used to keep hair products, including cleaning soap, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer.
With a multipurpose and sustainable technique, these cartons are a saviour for our aquatic buddies.
