A Dream for a Better World

Plastic is widely used since it is cheap, easy to make and also lasts for quite a long time. Unfortunately it is these very qualities that are leading to an increasing pollution problem. In fact the phenomenon of plastic pollution needs the serious attention of the concerned authorities, around the world. Plastic is not that easily prone to biodegradation and therefore continues to wreak havoc with the environment for a long time. Increased urbanization is one of the major reasons for plastic pollution. This form of pollution has already affected several species of mammals and birds adversely and therefore needs to be seriously looked into in all urgency.

Deforestation is a problem that could lead to disastrous consequences for mankind as a whole. Rapid urbanization is one of the primary causes of deforestation. As cities and towns expand, forests in their surrounding vicinity are being mercilessly cut down in order to make way for suburban townships. The forest cover in many areas is also decreasing since the land is being occupied for farming purposes in many countries. Increased global consumption is another one of the major reasons behind the decreasing forest cover. From paper to wooden furniture, one can imagine an entire host of products that owe their creation to trees and plants.
