Some of the advantages of public transport is that it is convenient and helps to remove our carbon footprint, while some disadvantages are the waiting times, frequent breakdowns and inconvenience for some people like the disabled.

It can contaminate sought-after items, like paper and cardboard. Plastic shopping bags pose the biggest problem for recycling facilities, as the bags can wrap around machinery and could cost over $10,000 to replace, Walters said. And that Starbucks cup we mentioned earlier? While technically it can be recycled, it’s usually not due to the fact that the paper cups are lined with—you guessed it—plastic, and recycling facilities would have to separate the plastic liner from the paper cup, a costly process. Like plastic bags that damage machinery, trying to recycle these cups without separating the plastic from the paper can also do harm to a recycling center’s machines.]]> 2022-07-07 03:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/SASS_ELL/qhngqklmn0wdnazc/wish/2238609796 Dylan koh_yen_jong_dylan https://padlet.com/SASS_ELL/qhngqklmn0wdnazc/wish/2238610443 Cleaner air to breathe, and better health
- The excessive number of cars coming into a city does have harmful effects on nature and human health.
- Exhaust gases are damaging air quality and emitting harmful particles, which increase the risk of respiratory diseases and can also negatively affect people’s mental health.
- Air pollution is particularly dangerous for children, as the developing brain is extremely sensitive and vulnerable to environment’s negative effects.

Cityscape and other commuters
- In addition to congestion and the increasing lack of space in cities, cars also ruin the cityscape.
- As more cars flow into city centres, the less room there is for cyclists and pedestrians, and with cars parked in areas, which are linked to sidewalks, the road space, which is meant for cyclists, becomes too narrow and dangerous to ride safely.   
- On the other hand, greater adoption of public transport would help to free up space in the urban areas, making city traffic significantly more pleasant for cyclists and pedestrians, in addition to making cityscapes across the world more beautiful and peaceful.   

Save time and money, reduce stress
- Due to vehicle congestion many cities have dedicated bus lanes, so using public transport within the city can be not only cheaper, but also faster.
- Especially when you don’t need worry about finding a parking space, or how much will it cost, when traveling on public transport.
- If public transport can meet the commuter’s needs, it will undoubtedly, over time, attract even more private vehicle owners to use public transport. Thankfully, the use of public transport is becoming increasingly popular . You can sit, relax, read a book or even get some work done on the bus or train, which is a much more practical way spending your time while commuting.

People may not want to use public transport
- Some people are quite used to their cars and simply do not want to switch to public transport at all.
- Those groups of people may be quite hard to convince about the benefits of public transport since they used their car all their lives and do not want to make changes.
- Thus, for those people, public transport may not be the way to go and there will always be a certain amount of people who simply do not want to refrain from using their cars.

Research has shown it takes an estimate of a 1000 years to decompose the plastic bags with every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal Furthermore, even though the plastic bags decompose, there are still micro plastics that absorb toxins and pollute the environment around it, causing animals such as fish and turtles to consume this harmful material and with the amount of plastic bags piling up in the ocean, it is sure that animals are going to be eradicated.

Plastic bags are everywhere. Look around and you will notice that plastic bags are the most common litter. Tangled in trees and fences along roads, floating in water, lying on the ground in parks and forests, surrounding garbage bins, washed off on beaches because they are so lightweight, plastic bags get easily picked up by wind and travel long distances by wind and water to pollute the nature. It’s also bad because plastic bag litter has even caused great problems in some areas. For example, millions of discarded plastic bags clog water drainage channels and sewers in urban areas of Bangladesh. When the monsoon rains start, streets get waterlogged just after the first few minutes because the water cannot pass through clogged sewerage pipes.

As a result, some grocery stores provide collection bins to properly recycle plastic bags, but it’s easy for shoppers to forget to bring them back.

    Of the waste generated in 2018, more than half - almost 4.63 million tonnes - was recycled.


    Singapore has set a national recycling rate target of 70% in 2030, with

    • an increase in domestic recycling rate from 22% in 2018 to 30% in 2030, and
    • an increase for non-domestic recycling rate from 74% in 2018 to 81% in 2030.

    Oil and natural gas are non-renewable fossil fuel-based resources and through their extraction and production, they emit greenhouse gases, which contribute to global climate change. The production of these bags is very energy intensive. Globally, 8 to 10 percent of our current oil supply goes to a plastic bag manufacture

Over that time, their light weight allows them to be carried long distances, causing environmental havoc along the way.

    Plastic bags can’t be sorted from other materials by the machinery at recycling facilities. They often get stuck in conveyor belts, jam equipment and delay the entire sorting system, making it impractical for plastic bags to be collected with curbside recycling.]]>     2022-07-08 04:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/SASS_ELL/qhngqklmn0wdnazc/wish/2239487005
