Your family may leave you, your friends may leave you, society may abandon you, but plastic will always be with you.

[jinymathew]

Government should take strict steps to ban plastics everywhere possible...and each of us do our part by avoiding plastics in our daily lives....

[Iwta-bn]

Look at the bright side never have to go the plastic surgery

[nishamenon]

Using glass and earthen vessels and steel utensils may help. Dont throw glass containers of pickles and other articles that come in glass. Wash and use them. Yes they are tedious at first to use but you get habituated. Air we cannot do much.

[joechellappanjothi]

True. You have selected the best topic to spread awareness among people. I know that the microplastic is a silent killer which is destroying the marine lives. Yes, It is equally bad to human life too.

[theshillonggirl]

One confession- as a scientific reseacher myself, i am sick of seeing so much of plastic waste everyday in the lab ! We produce tonnes of plastic one time use dishes and what not, with every experiment we do, i never really know where it goes finally !! I feel ashamed to be a part of this sometimes. 😢

[saravanaprabu]

Ban cosmetics and plastic packaging on foods

[lopamudraray]

Good you have done this. My collegues and me have done Research paper on Microplastic for Enviornmental Science dept of Calcutta University in 2019.

[santiswarupgan]

It is also speculated that due to micro plastic many young people are vulnerable to bowel cancer.

[FounderBenny]

Very serious concern.
Thank you Palki Ji.

[yaanpetrainbam-kalyani]

The only way out of this situation is to go back to our old ways of living. All these are the outcomes of just 50 years of our bad habits.
Let's refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, repair and repeat so that mother earth can heal.
Let's start leading a minimalistic simple life.

[Truthloverever]

Hats off to our education system, hats off to Govts, hats off to the definition of civilization, hats off to all humans

[Cutestar]

Uh no, , Do water filters that are usually made of plastic also contribute to this?

[christinecudney]

This is a new concern. Plastic was a solution and big business. Now we lernt a new lesson, find a new solution.
We are living in a dangerous, polluted, drug infested world. 😢

[harikrishnanp]

What an alarming situation. In this case what would be the condition of animals😮

[pematsomo]

Global policy n awareness on health hazards from use of Plastic needs worldwide attention & solution. Plastics production should be controlled & made super expensive. Non Biodegradable&Biodegradable alternative to plastic is GLOBALLY NEEDED.

[adamyali]

You. Are. Right sweety I agree with you ❤😊

[RighteousMonk-mm]

Say NO to plastic.
Say YES to Palki only.
I ❤ Palki.

[udaykumara.j.]

Is this a prelude to inserting microchip ?

[MxAspirant]

Barbie was wrong. Cuz life in plastic is hardly fantastic..😂 loved it!
