But I fully endorse Savika Gomes.
The diffusion of toxins from plastics into atmosphere and the surrounding, including liquid stored in pet bottles, possibly, are inclusive of dangerous DIOXINS. It has been researched that just the accumulation of a few nanograms ( 9 ?) of dioxins taken into our body (which is a cumulative process and once ingested only adds up bit by bit throughout one's life) can effect hormonal changes in our body and result in ulcers and tumors which eventually turn malignant. In Japan, in the proximity of a plastic compacting plant, women have grown facial hair, men have become impotent and cancers galore. Because, under heavy pressure, plastics get heated up and dioxins are released. These are colourless, odouless molecules assimilated into our bodies through breathing, and through our food chain. BURNING OF PLASTICS IS THEREFORE ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. REMEMBER 9 NANOGRAMS???? This is why we need CONCERNED and educated people in the GORMENT, not only educated, to protect the multitude of those who do not know and who will not learn, throughout their life time, to say "NO TO PLASTICS" Thank you Savika.
