                     With advanced technology, humans tend to produce
                     a variety of products that last longer, can withstand         Why do we need to
                     high temperature, and are easy to use. Plastic bags,          use non-biodegradable
                     synthetic fabrics, and computer items are among               wastes wisely?
                     materials that are non-biodegradable and are
                     increasingly produced around the world.
                        These materials do not decay when thrown
                     away and remain in the environment for a long time.
                     Therefore, we must use them wisely.
