Plastic Has Now Become The Scourge Of The World,

but not all plastic is equal,

the average UK citizen produces around 76kg (167lbs) of waste plastic, whilst in Sweden, it's around 18kg (40lbs), in the US 120kg (264lbs), of plastic waste yearly, the problem is some plastics would take hundreds of years before decomposing, while others don’t decompose at all. This is why we do our best in recycling plastic, so that we can minimize the plastic waste. However, not all plastic is recyclable. This begs the question: which plastic is recyclable and which is not? Bring on the staff at NPR who looks into the matter to help us identify which is which, have a look, there are few surprises, and for the love of sweet baby Jesus, drink water out of the tap in countries where it is safe to do so, drinking glass bottled water from Fiji just does not make sense when you look at the transport costs, never mind the cost of recycling the bottles, and the plastic ones are even worse!
