Recently the buzz about disposable products has been high and with our current situation where resources are on a all time low, its time that we start discussing the impact of our actions.
Disposable products are usually used once or twice and are thrown away (often they are not recycled). In the case of plastic, we are aware that it is non-biodegradable in nature and yet we continue to use them. Plastic bags choke the wildlife and refuse to break down in oceans or landfills. They aren’t easy to recycle and make environment pretty messed up.
Every year, almost 1 trillion tons of plastic is used all around the world in forms of disposable products. After the issues surrounding this had come to light, many countries had taken action by either limiting its use or completing banning it.
Through this project I would like research on:
- alternate options
- advantages and disadvantages of both limiting it or banning it
- which one will work in the long run
Our Project Idea
In this project we would like to know more about our future. For example some new technologies or solutions for the climate change.
We are very curious how our world will look like in a couple decades with everything that it includes. From public transportation to our smartphones and even the way we communicate with each other.
We are specially interested in the future of our car industry. Are there still cars with old-fashioned combustion engines? Are there only electric cars on our streets? Do we even have cars in the future and if yes are we still driving them by ourselves?
In this project we would also like to make some interviews with experts.
