One major issue to our environment is the building of excessive plastic in our surroundings. Approximately, 8 million metric tonnes of waste plastic enters the Earth’s ocean every year.

Plastic reuse or recycle is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products. Though challenging, reusing of non-biodegradable plastic can be done in various ways such as using of plastic bottles as pencil holders, making plant pots out of the leftovers, decoration pieces etc.

However, a person far away from the concept of ‘REUSE. REDUCE. RECYCLE’ must be made aware of the hazardous effects of plastic accumulation. Below are the actual answers of questions asked by 2 respondents; 

Q; WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PLASTIC RECYCLE/REUSE?

Q; CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US SOME IDEAS ABOUT IT?

RESPONDENT 1; WELL, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MAKING REUSE OF PLASTIC DOESN’T IT? LIKE USING OLD DISCARDED PLASTIC….NO I DON’T THINK I CAN REALLY THINK OF A METHOD TO REUSE PLASTIC, I’M NOT THAT CREATIVE YOU KNOW.

RESPONDENT 2; ITS ABOUT BRINGING IN USE THE OLD TRASHY PLASTIC. YEAH, WE CAN USE THE BOTTLES TO STORE WATER IN THE FRIDGE OR MAYBE PLASTIC WRAPS TO WRAP STUFF MORE THAN ONCE.

It can be thus concluded that once introduced to proper terminologies, human minds can overcome this crucial issue of plastic pollution. A lot has already been done to counter this huge build up of plastic and a lot still needs to be done, but playing with the devil that we know as ‘plastic’ has caused some serious issues within our world.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
