This document discusses the impacts of plastic pollution on the environment. It notes that while plastic was initially a beneficial invention, the vast majority of plastic produced is not recycled and instead pollutes the land and oceans. Specific impacts highlighted include plastic persisting in the environment for hundreds of years, choking drainage systems and causing floods, being eaten by and killing wildlife like sea turtles and cattle, and polluting beaches. The document advocates for reducing plastic use, banning non-recyclable plastics, improving recycling programs, and educating the public on the issues to help address the growing plastic pollution problem.
Plastic is all around us. It forms much of the packaging for our food and drink. For many of us, it is throughout our home, our workplace, our car, the bus we take to and from work. It can be in our clothing, eyeglasses, teeth, toothbrush, computers, phones, dishes, utensils, toys. The list goes on, especially when you look around and begin to notice the plastic in your life.
Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, durable, strong and relatively inexpensive. It can be chemical resistant, clear or opaque, and practically unbreakable. These are wonderful useful qualities, and plastic plays many important roles in life on Earth, but the widespread use of plastic is also causing unprecedented environmental problems, and harbours serious health risks . Plastic should be used wisely, with caution and only when suitable alternatives do not exist or are not available.
Plastic pollution is a constant battle . The causes and effects are dangerous, do you know the solution?

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

PLASTIC – A BOON OR A
BANE?
PLASTIC is one of the best inventions of the 18th
century. Plastic is light-weight, durable, low- cost,
and has a wide variety of applications ranging
from…
2. …a pen, waste paper
basket, bottles,
shopping bags, kids’
toys, household
utensils, storage items,
electrical & electronic goods, industrial
& agricultural equipments, medical
items, automobile & aircraft parts and
so on. Invention of plastic undoubtedly
has been the one of the greatest
achievements by man.
3. HOWEVER
The PLASTIC THE BEST
INVENTION OF MAN has
become
CURSE for environment
In the modern times. Why?
4. Every year about 300 billion pounds of plastic is
produced in the world and not even 5% of it is
recycled. So where does the remaining 95% goes?
Well most of it finds safe haven in landfills and the
remaining is thrown in the oceans. It's a known fact
that plastic takes almost 100 years to decompose, but
when it's thrown in the water; the action of the sun,
water and temperature breaks it into small pieces
which helps the spreading of plastic even more. This is
very strange but true, in the middle of the Pacific
ocean a circular pattern of water currents have
accumulated enormous amounts of floating garbage.
This huge amount is often referred as the 'Eastern
Pacific Garbage Patch'. It was discovered by Captain
Charles Moore in the early 1990's and is still growing.
5. 1. HUGE POLLUTION PROBLEM
Plastics are used because they are easy and
cheap to make and they can last a long time.
Unfortunately these same useful qualities can
make plastic a huge pollution problem. Because
the plastic is cheap it gets discarded easily and
can do great harm to the environment.
6. 2. POLLUTION DUE TO
BURNING PLASTIC
When plastic is burnt,
the harmful fumes
enter into the atmosphere and
has direct effects upon
someone who breathes it. And so,
NO! we cannot eliminate plastic by
burning it.
7. 3. SOIL FERTILITY IS LOST
Most of the solid wastes,
like paper, plastic
containers, bottles, cans,
and even used cars and
electronic goods are not biodegradable,
which means they do not get broken
down through inorganic or organic
processes. Thus, when they integrate
in the soil, the soil loses its fertility.
8. 4. CHOKING OF DRAINS
CAUSING FLOODS
Urbanization has added
to the plastic pollution,
especially in cities.
Plastic thrown on land can enter into
drainage lines and choke them
resulting into floods, especially in cities
as experienced in Mumbai, many times
in the past.
9. 5. DEATH OF LIVESTOCK
It was claimed in one of
the programmes on TV
channel that eating plastic
bags results in death of 100 cattle per day
in U.P. in India. In stomach of one dead
cow, as much as 35 kg of plastic was
found. Because plastic does not
decompose/digest, and requires high
energy ultra-violet light to break down.
10. 5. POLLUTION OF SEA BEACHES
The amount of plastic waste in our oceans is
steadily increasing. More than 90% of the articles
found on the sea beaches are made up of
plastics. The plastic rubbish found on beaches
near urban areas tend to originate from use on
land like packaging materials.
11. 6. PLASTIC BAGS KILLS
ANIMALS
About 100,000 animals such
as dolphins, turtles, whales,
penguins are killed every
year due to plastic bags. Many animals ingest
plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and
therefore die. And worse, the ingested plastic
bag remains intact even after the death and
decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies
around in the landscape where another victim
may ingest it.
12. 7. DANGER TO KIDS
Thin plastic bags,
Especially dry cleaning
bags, have the potential
for causing suffocation.
About 25 children in the
United States suffocate each year due
to plastic bags, most under the age of
one. This has led to voluntary warning
labels on
some bags which may pose a hazard to
13. 8. DANGER TO PUBLIC HEALTH
The major chemicals used to make
plastic resins pose serious risks to public
health and safety. Many of the
chemicals used in large volumes to
produce plastics are highly toxic. Some
chemicals, are known to cause cancer in humans; many
tend to be gases and liquid hydrocarbons, which readily
vaporize and pollute the air. Many are flammable and
explosive. Even the plastic resins themselves are
flammable and have
contributed to numerous chemical accidents. The
production of plastic emits substantial amounts of toxic
chemicals to air and water, and cause serious damage
14. SOLUTIONS
WHAT INDIVIDUALS CAN DO?
1. Avoid accepting plastic bags when you
finish shopping. Instead, carry a paper or a
jute bag with you when you go shopping.
2. Avoid disposing of plastic along with organic wastes. Do not
throw waste food in plastic bags or containers. You might just
save a life.
3. Avoid using plastic chairs or tables, you could use eco friendly
items instead.
4. Plastic is made from crude oil. So lesser usage of plastic also
means lesser demand for crude oil products.
5. Keep plastic articles and toys (with small parts) away from the
reach of little children. Always supervise kids when they are
working with such potential plastic articles.
6. Do not dispose plastic which can be recycled. That’s another
means to reduce production of more plastic.
15. WHAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO
The more hazardous variant of plastic, the non-recyclable poses a
greater threat to our environment. The trouble arises because we
have no definitive way of disposing this plastic and hence it lives
on in nature forever. A few steps that could be taken to tackle this
problem are:
Governments should ban production of
non-recyclable plastic and also the
manufacture of products that use them.
Non-recyclable plastic can be used for
asphalting roads, as supplementary building
materials, and as supportive structures.
Extensive research must take place in
finding better methods of disposing
non-recyclable plastic.
People must be educated about the benefits of recycling and
16. In conclusion, everyone of us know that
plastic is here to stay. But how we let it stay
is left to us. Let us make better use of what
nature has given us.
