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.
