Single Use Plastic Ban Dear Fellow Ambassadors, Plastic forms one of our ways of life. Its convenient & cheap but is immensely harmful to the environment. It takes many years to decompose & invariably sits at the ocean beds, garbage dumps, landfills etc. Recyclable & good to decompose plastic is safe to use but Single Use Plastic is deadly for the eco-system. Glaring examples of Single Use Plastic are day-to-day use carry-bags, wrappers, sachets, caps, bottles, shampoo, soap, containers etc. Normally they are disposed to the garbage when the contents in the container are all used & the plastic container is empty. Throwing these plastic packaging adds up at the land-fills and creates a huge nuisance to the authorities. Therefore, many countries have come-up with various legislation to ban Single Use Plastic. Many developing & developed nations have taken strong initiatives to ban Single Use Plastic and the number is rising each day. Abu-Dhabi has just announced that by 2021 all Single Use Plastic shall be banned. The link to the news article is attached for a quick reference: Governments are taking up the challenges but it is our responsibility also to reuse the single use plastic containers. They may be used in various forms. Shampoo bottles may be filled with sachets & so on. I strongly urge all the Tunza Ambassadors to reuse such products & try to minimise the load on Land Fills. Thanks for reading. |

Hi Rohan, this is Sang Su Lee.
To make a policy of banning plastic products, there should be good alternative ways to replace them. In South Korea, the government has banned the use of single-use plastics for shopping, but this ends in failure since there was no alternative available to shop fish and vegetables. What do you think the alternatives are? You mentioned to reuse single-use plastic and it is a very good solution. However, people do not use it again just because they feel tiresome to do so. Nudge, behavioral economic concept, can be used to solve this problem I suggest. Thank you for sharing this article.
Good job!

Hello Rohan! This is mentor Taehyun!
I read your report well! Yes, indeed plastic is a very serious problem all around the world. Plastic is not easy to disintegrate, and when plastic disintegrates, it can emit toxic substance and toxic substances can break our nature. Especially, the disposable plastic product is the most serious problem confronted with us. We have to reduce the plastic product! So, thank you for your strong argument about banning plastic product! It will be really helpful to our earth!
Thank you for your report!
Green cheers!
