<center>Hello everyone, how you doing?</center>
Today, I just want to reason with you on the _**"Problem with plastics"**_
>Plastic is a light strong material that is produced through chemical process and can be formed into shapes when heated.

They are used to produce materials of different shapes and sizes, such as plastic bags, food storage containers, cups, cutlery, bottles, shoes to mention for a few.
Over the years, plastics have proved to be terribly helpful, particularly in food and drinks production and packaging. Most times, people often get food processed, packaged, shipped, and reheated in plastic containers.
Most drinks such as water, milk, juice and soft drinks are often packaged in plastic bottles. Although plastic makes eating, storing, and distribution of food and drinks much easier, recent studies and research have shown that plastics do not only act as pollutants to our environment, they are also very dangerous to human health.
This is as a result of their chemical composition. Generally, most plastics contain bisphenol A (BPA); a material used in manufacturing them in order to make them durable.
This chemical has adverse effect on human health. Health challenges such as cancer, indigestion, ulcer, skin diseases, liver, dysfunction, birth defect of male and female genitals, obesity, neurological problems like attention deficit, vision failure e.t.c are some of the dangers of addictive use of plastics.
Apparently, it's nearly not possible to utterly do without the so called plastic product, however we will scale back their purchase and use. Hence, to cut back exposure to plastics, these suggestions are useful.
- Use glass water or stainless water bottle instead of disposable water bottle.
- Reusable grocery bags instead of plastic bags.
- Put an end to food that are packaged in plastics and use glass or stainless steel for food storage container.
- Moreover, don't use plastics in the microwave and avoid putting hot food or drinks into them.
Remember, it's better and less expensive to prevent diseases than to cure them; avoid exposing yourself to the danger of using plastics.
