Plastic and Global Warming |
|---|

As a second-largest plastric user, Indonesia would emit so much GHG emissions by seeing how big plastic's carbon footprint. Based on (Juerg, 2009) The carbon footprint of plastic (LDPE or PET, poyethylene) is about 6 kg CO2 per kg of plastic. By the fact that Indonesia produced more than 3.2 Million tons of plastic waste on 2010, we can calculate that Indonesia has contributed 19.2 Mton CO2. Just seeing its contribution, the percentage of plastic waste is taking 1% of amount of Indonesia GHG emissions or 3.5% GHG emission without LULUCF. It's fantastic! We need to #ActOnClimate now! Changing the habits, using Goodie Bags instead of plastic, using your own tumblrs and lunch boxes may save the world. Because #SmallActMatters when we do it Together! |

Small changes in our daily lives can actually contribute to larger changes in the long run, especially if a lot of us are actually following it. Using own's shopping bags and lunch boxes is a great way to reduce the usage of plastic in our daily lives.

You're right.. Using own's hand bags to shop and rejecting plastic bags can serve lot to control plastic uses and hence reduce its combustion to emit CO2. We need to act right now. Thanks for sharing :)
