PVC is made from a combination of several toxic chemicals including vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen. Its manufacturing process is dangerous. It generates the chlorinated pollutant dioxin that can end up in high concentrations in breast milk. Yet it is everywhere: the piping that carries our drinking water, our shower curtains, the floors we walk on, the rubber duck sharing the bath with our babies, and the medical equipment used to heal us, are just a few examples. Sandra Steingraber is a biologist and cancer activist, having been diagnosed with bladder cancer when she was twenty. Here is her thought-provoking article about PVC and its connection with national security from the latest edition of Orion magazine.

It is one of the most destructive invetions. Plastic have a property that it is non-biodegrable. i.e even if you burry it under soil and get it out after 1000 years you will find it in same position. Its always advisable to use paper as much as you can in place of plastic. SO USE PAPER AND ADVICE OTHERS ALSO. Lets Keep Our Earth Alive.
