Whenever word plastic comes to our mind the first thing that strikes is HARMFUL!
So here is a little presentation to show how to convert that harmful thing into something innovative :)

Plastic pollution is when plastic has gathered in an area and has begun to negatively impact the natural environment and create problems for plants, wildlife, and even the human population.
In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away. Plastic waste is now so ubiquitous in the natural environment that scientists have even suggested it could serve as a geological indicator of the Anthropocene era.
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.

Ocean Plastic Pollution - A Leading Killer of Marine LifeOzeri Corporation
International manufacturer Ozeri Corporation is best-known for its conscientious product designs that incorporate environmental sustainability and human health and wellness. The Ozeri Corporation has developed a line of plant-derived, biodegradable dishware, and food containers to combat pollution caused by petroleum-based plastics.
Millions of tons of plastic waste enter Earth’s waterways every year. Marine life is especially vulnerable to the increasing volume of non-biodegradable plastic entering the ocean.
A recent study conducted by the Australian government found that plastic waste is one of the leading killers of ocean life. Certain types of plastic are more dangerous than others. For example, plastic bags and film are able to sink to depths where many types of sea life feed. Dolphins, fish, whales, and turtles may inadvertently ingest plastic debris, which can fatally block their digestive tracts.
Marine animals are also often entangled in plastic bags and packaging. Either way, interacting with plastics results in a slow and painful death for the animals. Since the majority of plastic-related fatalities are never discovered by humans, the death toll in the Australian study is likely underreported.

Plastic pollution is a form of environmental pollution that ar.docxmattjtoni51554
Plastic pollution is a form of environmental pollution that arise when plastic material
accumulates in an area and begins to exert negative effects to the surroundings. Plastic pollution
has been an issue on the rise that was not being experienced in the traditional times. This is
because, plastic is a readily available material and is used in packaging of various items. Plastic
has also been used widely to replace organic materials and solutions for various lifestyles
materials.
Plastic is a toxic material and substance which can cause great harm than good. Inspire of
being a very convenient and useful material in the modern day world, human beings have not yet
learned proper lessons on garbage disposal to avoid plastics lying around where they are not
required to. The accumulation of plastics is what has led to the increased pollution. This means
that, had human beings learnt to take care of the disposable materials this issue can be
eliminated.
One of the major issue with the plastic material is that, it is non-biodegradable. This
means it is in a form that cannot decompose. In this sense it becomes very harmful to plant and
animal life. Once animals consume plastics they are susceptible to diseases and very fast deaths.
For instance, cows are very prone to the issue of plastic consumption as they feed on grass. The
plastic is indigestible and it clogs up the digestive system causing the anima a very quick and
painful death.
Apart from the bigger animals such as cows for instance even fish are and other aquatic
animals are affected from the ingestion of plastic particles and substances. For instance when
planktons becomes affected and are poisoned from the consumption of plastic substances,
eventual death is the end result. This will often imbalance and upset the food chain, since many
other sea animals depend on the planktons for food. This chain goes on and on and eventually the
larger animals succumb due to lack of food. This paints a greater picture of the harm that plastic
pollution predisposes the environment to.
The plastics pollution cause great and adverse effects on ground water or generally
consumption water. The water in the seas and lakes is mostly polluted from plastics and other
insoluble pollutants. Plastic contains harmful substances which when washed off to the seas and
the lake affects the water to be consumed. Plastics on the dumping sites erode their harmful
substances to the water bodies once they are washed away by rain water. This affects drinking
water and the sea animals. Consumption of the water or the sea animals, pauses grate health
dangers to the human beings and the overall marine life.
Plastics contribute to air pollution once the plastics are burned to get rid of them. The
smoke produced from the burning of plastics is very harmful and contains toxic substances and
gases once they are freely left into the air. The polluted air once inhaled by humans and animals
can.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. Introduction
Modern technology has created the plastics age.
Plastics do not easily decay and can thus be used for a
long time. Plastics bags have made human life easier.
However, they have also created problems especially
to the environment, because many users throw away
the used bags in any place.
4. Plastic Pollution
Plastic bags are made of various chemicals
which are mainly toxic. That is certainly very
harmful to the health and the environment. These
are toxic chemicals that are sources of various
diseases as well as disorders in humans. They
will not only affect humans and animals but also
plants, water and air. Plastics create the most
harm to the marine life.
5. Around the world, plastic
pollution has become a growing
plague, clogging our waterways,
damaging marine ecosystems, and
entering the marine food web.
Much of the plastic trash we
generate on land flows into our
oceans through storm drains and
watersheds. It falls from garbage
and container trucks, spills out of
trashcans, or is tossed carelessly.
6. Effects on The Environment
The distribution of plastic debris is highly variable as
a result of certain factors such as wind and ocean
currents, coastline geography, urban areas, and trade
routes. Human population in certain areas also plays a
large role in this. Plastics are more likely to be found
in enclosed regions such as the Caribbean.
7. Land
Plastics can release harmful
chemicals into the surrounding
soil, which can then seep into
groundwater or other surrounding
water sources and also the
ecosystem. This can cause serious
harm to the species that drink the
water.
8. Ocean In 2012, it was estimated that there
was approximately 165 million tons
of plastic pollution in the world's
oceans.
In the oceans, some plastics like
Polystyrene sink, while foamed
plastics float on the oceans surface.
Sunlight and wave action cause these
floating plastics to fragment,
breaking into increasingly smaller
particles. This plastic pollution is
becoming a hazard for marine
wildlife, and ultimately for us.
9. Circulation
Our oceans are dynamic systems, made up of complex
networks of currents that circulate water around the world.
Large systems of these currents, coupled with wind and the
earth’s rotation, create “gyres”, massive, slow rotating
whirlpools in which plastic trash can accumulate
10. Effects on Animals
Plastic pollution has the potential to poison animals, which
can then adversely affect human food supplies. Plastic
pollution has been described as being highly detrimental to
large marine mammals. Some marine species, such as sea
turtles, have been found to contain large proportions of
plastics in their stomach.
11. Entanglement
Entanglement in plastic debris has
been responsible for the deaths of
many marine organisms, such as fish,
seals, turtles, and birds. These
animals get caught in the debris and
end up suffocating or drowning.
Because they are unable to untangle
themselves, they also die from
starvation or from their inability to
escape predators. In a 2006 it was
estimated that at least 267 different
animal species have suffered from
entanglement.
12. Ingestion
44% of all seabird species, 22% of
Cetaceans, all sea turtle species, and
a growing list of fish species have
been documented with plastic in or
around their bodies. When marine
animals consume plastic trash,
presumably mistaking it for food,
this can lead to internal blockages,
dehydration, starvation, and
potentially death.
13. Solution
Plastics Made from Plants Instead of Toxic
Chemicals:
Bio plastics are plastics derived from renewable
natural sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn or
peas .Bio plastic can be made from agricultural by-
products.
14. Prevention Stop using bottled water
Bring your own reusable grocery
bags with you when you go to the
store
Use silverware instead of plastic
utensils
Download your music instead of
buying CD’s
Buy only the items that are not made
of plastic
Avoid plastics that are not readily
recyclable, e.g. PVC
