Have you asked yourself this question when buying water in a plastic bottle? What awaits her after use? This video from the TED (Ted-Ed) Lessons series shows us the stories of three discarded plastic bottles.
It is necessary to know not only what we consume, but also how this consumption affects us and the environment. It is very important to understand that the discarded garbage comes back to us in the form of food poisoned by chemicals, polluted air, climate change, desert land, dried up rivers and extinct species of animals.
We can stop all this right now by changing our consumption habits.
