A New Age Asura - Plastics

Plastics are like Raktabeej, an asura, a shallow interpretation meaning Demon

Raktabeej was bestowed with a boon that whenever a drop of his blood fell on ground, a replica of him would be reborn from that spot; each time he was struck, millions of his clones appeared

Plastics being virtually indestructible, only breakdown into microplastics & create even bigger problems; when incinerated, the fly ash and bottom ash still contain microplastics & other toxic heavy metals.

A plastic can linger in environment forever.. polluting..

The chasing arrows recycling symbol on plastics, each arrow (which in my opinion) only represents

- Consumers’ Ignorance

- Governments’ Indifference

- Producers’ Irresponsibility

has misguided us long enough & has led our planet into plastic pollution crisis

Raktabeej was annihilated by a fierce Goddess..

On the other hand, to truly vanquish plastic pollution crisis, concerted actions across globe involving Governments having right policies, Producers taking Responsibility for plastic waste & Consumers' heightened awareness is needed
