I want to tell a horror story . The main character of this tale, known as the Bad, the creepy UNICEL. This material has invaded the life of our planet Earth to a degree that has left an indelible mark that will last for ever and ever.
El Malo has many different faces. It is useful, because it serves food or drinks hot and cold. It is very cheap and, therefore, ubiquitous, you find it everywhere. It is a type of plastic made from a nonrenewable natural resource: oil. It is also known as polystyrene. It has a short shelf life, typically used only once. Life ends up in landfills or, worse, rivers, ravines and streets of our states.
His personality is treacherous and deceptive: its white color reflects erroneously purity, peace and tranquility. Seduce the consumer with its lightness, its apparent neatness and economy. But worst of all is that the Bad does not leave you in peace, chasing you and reminds you eternal presence because it has extraordinary power. It is an indestructible and even damaged and scattered in small pieces the Evil does not die, decompose, does not disappear for years and years and years ...
The Bad live in our homes, schools, offices and positions of ice cream, porridge , tamales and many other places. The Evil One is still an option to buy in all supermarkets in Mexico and we are far from achieving its ban. Persists in every nook and fly away, like in particular to the sea and its evil because it takes another form in the oceans is disguised as food. Fish and birds to whales and other marine animals, fall into the trap and eat the Evil provoke terrible internal damage. Animals die, but still causing disasters Malo ...
The next time you use a glass of the Bad UNICEL think of this story. That glass will last longer than your life, your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and other generations. According to a report in 1986 - 25 years ago - the EPA (acronym in English of "Environmental Protection Agency) polystyrene was classified as the fifth production chemical that generated the highest amount of hazardous waste. If we know that is so dangerous, why are we allowing their production and consumption?
is precisely why the second time in Tepoztlan is launching the Campaign for a Free Tepoztlan Unicel, this time aimed at reducing the number of Styrofoam cups used mainly by visitors from eating snow. "Every weekend, about two thousand discarded ice cream cups in Tepoztlan, same could be avoided by simply asking a wafer," reports the campaign organizer, Adriana Lourenco. "We promote the use of alternative packaging other than cancer and other biodegradable or recyclable. Waffles for snow, cardboard or glass jar for michelada, reusable containers for lunches, dinner dishes for the holidays ...", announced in his blog: http://tepozsinunicel.blogspot.com/, which contains useful information about the campaign and the damage to health is eating or drinking from a container made of Styrofoam.
No matter if you do not live in the village. We should all be involved in this effort Morelos get UNICEL completely ban in our state. We must unite to defeat the Bad, and the way is the most simple: do not take, use, buy or sell UNICEL anymore. Use brown paper not plastic (as previously used) because it is cheap, biodegradable and not harmful. For drinks always use cardboard cups. And if you do not understand yet why, I share the words of Adrienne, "the beauty of your people and your environment, the health of our children and their future, the planet of all."
