One of the biggest problems that our planet has to face is, surprisingly, waste. Plastic bottles, cutlery, bags and much more are very useful. But once they are used, they turn out to be a burden for the environment. How can we deal with this problem? Well, prevention is always better than cure. First of all, we should buy products made form recycled material. If we have any plastic, paper and glass rubbish, we should not simply throw them into the bin. The best thing to do is to take them to the nearest recycling centre. It is very important as far as used batteries are concerned. Batteries contain mercury, which can leak into the groundwater beneath the landfills. The groundwater then runs into the streams and poisons the fish. Other possibility is buying rechargeable batteries. In addition, we should reduce the consumption of bottled water. Plastic water bottles aren't biodegradable, so they will eventually overflow from the landfills.
