 Due to the flow of information, there is too much news and information in our lives that is not always true. When we stop filtering the information we assimilate, there is a risk of getting caught up in fake news and misleading not only ourselves but also our surroundings.
Artificial fur coats are far more harmful to wildlife than natural fur coats and globally more harmful. Indeed, an animal from a fur farm was not killed to create such a thing. First, it takes a lot of electricity and water to create artificial fur, and the carbon footprint of such production is large. Second, artificial fur coat hairs are made from polymer fibres, the microplastic particles from which get into the environment every time such a fur coat is washed, shaken or combed out. When the coat finally piles up and you throw it away, it will never decay and will lie in a landfill for hundreds of years. 2. Zoos are really bad. Actually, good zoos with good conditions for animals are very good. Today, they are a hub of knowledge about species biology that helps us understand how to conserve a particular species, as well as the last hope for animals that can no longer survive in the wild. At the moment, animals are rarely caught by order of zoos, more often they get there either through exchange programs between zoos or after they have been rescued in the wild from imminent death. In addition, zoos keep representatives of rare species that can help restore extinct populations. For example, when the bison disappeared from the wild, it was only possible to bring them back thanks to individuals who survived in captivity. 3. Paper dishes are better than plastic ones. Wrong. To ensure that the paperware does not leak, it is protected by a thin layer of polyethene. That is, paper dishes are made from a mixed material that cannot be recycled. In this case, paper utensils, including cups, are made from virgin cellulose. The production of just one cup emits 0.1 kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and uses about 200 litres of water. I hope you have learned something new for yourself and expanded your knowledge about ecology. I will be very glad if you share in the comments what other myths you have heard about.
