Should disposable products be banned or limited?

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

Gold of the future

One of the most important ressources on our planet: Water

We need it in almost every aspect of our life, but we are running out of it. This leads to companys trade with it and trying to make profit with it. We want to discover how they do it and if everything is legal.

Now...

  • What are the consequences for future generations?
  • How did it get so far?
  • How does it look with dry regions?
  • What can we do?
