Asked by: Sri Aurobindo International | Fachmittelschule Glarus

As we all know plastic plays a major role in causing global warming and climate change. How is your country taking initiatives to ban plastic? Are you banning plastic in your school?

 

 

Bottles for example are now made out of PET. Swiss people are world champions in recycling. In 2008 Swiss people collected 35'825 tons of PET . This means that 80% of all the sold bottles go back to the Recycling and they make new bottles out of it. For each kilogramm PET that has been recycled we reduce 3 kilogramms of CO2. in 2007 like this we could prevent 112500tons of CO2 to be emitted. This corresponds to emissions of 27'000 cars in one year.
