meipai (recycle )

thanks to meipai. easy to use n nice setting.

this is my first 10s video using meipai on RECYCLE. 

how i started ..

This is what i do at home... 

i used to throw recyclable items in boxes (basically just mix up everythin), and send to recycle collection center , until i found that its much easy if we categorize them before we send it over, it will ease the whole process. save time n effort  ^^ (i do clean /rinse if the bottle/can contain sweet stuffs.. to prevent ants )  :) pls do share with me if u hav a better idea on organizing this !! 

newspapers , glasses, aluminium tin , plastics..etc 

PLASTICS !! PLASTICS !! PLASTICS !!

PLASTICS !! PLASTICS !! PLASTICS !!

One of the most commonly use petrochemical derived substances in our daily life, from water bottle, furniture, food containers, piping, stationary, toys, gadgets, clothing, accesories, shoes...and many many more..
we cant deny the "owesomness' of plastic, changing our life style..its cheap ,  lower d cost for many many products ,versatility ..etc etc..tats y we hav PLASTICS! its a great creation ..

But , with  7 billion human population (up to 2014, credit to #worldometer) on this beautiful planet, the usage of plastics are realy HUGE .. in addition, it take 500 years to biodegrade. hmm.. .. ended up as landfills, ocean or shores??  hopefully   ..one day,our home bcm clean and beautiful again.

what do numbers on the bottom of plastic bottle indicate ?

 i did some study on this due to curiosity ( wondering why our teachers not teaching this at school..??) hehe..

this coding system established to ease the recycle process by categorize plastics in 7 grades.

some interesting info to share:
