Photos that remind you to recycle (Pics) Featured

Each individual generates about 2 Kg (4.4 lbs.) of waste on a daily basis. The figure was 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs.) back in 1960. The world population is going up at a rate of 1.1% annually, which means that in 64 years, there will be 15 billion people on our planet.

If no care is taken, the population will generate a massive amount of garbage, which can result in a lot of diseases and other problems. Not only it effects the human life but also threatens the survival of many other species.

In Hawaii, more than 1,000 small pieces of plastic were found in the stomach of a sea turtle. Perhaps the most famous case involved a pygmy sperm whale stranded off the New Jersey coast in 1993. Inky, as she was called, had 3 square feet of plastic clogging her stomach. She survived, but many do not.

Let us play our role, learn from the past mistakes and keep our home clean. Below are sad photos that will make you want to recycle.
