Should plastic be banned altogether?

ByStanBG

Hello everyone, I've been researching the topic of plastic bans for a few months now as I'm creating a project folder for DSD II. I'm gathering experiences and opinions on questions like: Should plastic be completely banned from life?; Is it even possible to live without plastic?; Is the new law restricting plastics the solution?;…

Is taking garbage bags out of the trash can and distributing them an offense?

ByFloraEla

Is it illegal for neighbors, garbage collectors, or janitors to take trash out of trash cans and throw it on the ground? I'm definitely in favor of waste separation, and I often see organic waste mixed with general waste. But somehow, someone thought it was necessary to demonstrate six large bags of improperly disposed waste….

Hello,

great that you are interested in this topic. 🙂

There are several dangers which entail intensive land use in agriculture. Feed cultivation or pasture for livestock with 83% of the agricultural area is the largest proportion.

Many hectares of fertile soil are destroyed and made unusable every year by intensive farming. This is done, inter alia, by excessive amounts of fertilizer and manure, but also by the use of chemicals such as pesticides and technology. The more intensive the management of soils, the more negative it affects our environment.

The state of the soil also has an influence on biodiversity. billions of organisms live under the surface of the earth and are also threatened by the destruction of their habitat itself.

So soils also bind three times more carbon dioxide than trees, shrubs, grasses and co. Thus, if one destroys fertile soil, this has negative consequences for our climate. Due to the deterioration of soil quality, it is possible to grow less so that other areas – for example the rainforest – are eliminated.

Here you can read everything in detail and with exact references.

By the way, the detour from the cultivated feed via the trough of the so-called farm animals is extremely inefficient. If, on the other hand, all people were to feed on plants, much less land would be needed and 4 billion more people could be supplied. With a herbal diet you can not only save many animals, but also people and the environment. 🌎🌱💙

So what? A meadow on the cows graze a pond on the sheep are not subject to intensive land use – unlike e.g. a field of oats for the extraction of oats for oats.

Try to understand the question again.

Intense agriculture should not be dictated in general, because we cannot afford that for 8 billion people.

It is more central that proper floor-friendly Agriculture.

I.e. it depends on the qualification and good will of the farmer.

The danger lies in the fact that the ground is frequently compressed with machines which are too heavy. This causes the through-rooted space and the water supply.

The danger lies in the fact that the floor is too often finely crumbled with rolling machines (e.g. milling). This massively suffers the soil life and the excessive oxygen access builds the humus.

The danger lies in the fact that the basic rules of erosion prevention are not respected and therefore precious soils land in the rivers and in the sea.

The danger lies in the fact that, above all, fruit sequences which bring a lot of money are practised, e.g. wheat potatoes. And little ground-promoting fruits like “Kleegras”.
