Plastic food grade bottles, cups, plates, and utensils can be used many times over.
Contrary to what many others may say, plastic polymers do not detach or separate from their main body, and are perfectly safe and good to have water, drinks, food, hot and cold beverages.
But in order to save environment, we should be able to use plastic utensils again and again.
We should not be using disposable plastic, as it is piling up huge as garbage material on land and contaminating all water bodies.
We should always buy plastic material that can be used for a very long time.
Then it can be given away for land refills, or recycling and reprocessing.
These are very simple lessons that should be an integral part of our everyday education by law.
