HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DECOMPOSE

It's not that we don't have the knowledge of environment pollution but
sometimes because of lack of awareness and responsibility we do the harm to
Nature.

There is a small list of things with the time it takes to decompose I
thought to share with you how long our act of foolishness will remain on
earth.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DECOMPOSE

Banana Peel- 3-4 weeks

Orange peels- 6 months

Apple Core- 2 months

Paper Bag- 1 month

Cardboard- 2 months

Milk Cartons- 5 years

Newspaper- 6 weeks

Paper Towel- 2-4 weeks

Cotton Glove- 3 months

Tinned Steel Can- 50 years

Aluminium Can- 200-500 years

Disposable Diapers- 550 years

Plastic Bags- 20-1000 years

Glass- 1-2 million years

Cigarette Butts- 10-12 years

Leather shoes- 25-40 years

Rubber-Boot Sole- 50-80 years

Plastic containers- 50-80 years

Monofilament Fishing Line- 600 years

Foamed Plastic Cups- 50 years

Wool Sock- 1-5 years

Plywood- 1-3 years

Plastic Bottles- 450 years

So can we all vow not to litter the places we visit or the surroundings, and
try to clean up the area.
