Trivia's & Games :))

Trivia:


1. In America, an average child will use between 8 -10,000 disposable diapers ($2,000 worth) before being potty trained. Each year parents and babysitters dispose of about 18 billion of these items. In the United States alone these single-use items consume nearly 100,000 tons of plastic and 800,000 tons of tree pulp. We will pay an average of $350 million annually to deal with their disposal. Plastic does not biodegrade; these diapers will still be in the landfill 300 years from now.
2. We throw away more than 60 million plastic bottles a day.
3.A cigarette butt that entered the ocean in 1986, starts to decompose in 1991 which is five years after.
4. A Styrofoam cup that enters the ocean decomposes only after eighteen years while it takes fifty years for a tin can to decompose.
5. If one thinks it is shocking to know that it takes 450 years for a plastic bottle that enters the sea to decompose, wait till he is informed that it takes one million years for a glass bottle that enters the ocean to decompose.
