Have you ever seen a house catch fire and have something left behind? You just need a little knowledge.

Plastic takes a while to decompose, my grandchildren would need the same house intact in the future

Hello, good morning, it is very good and very gratifying when we hear and see initiatives like this. Have you ever imagined how much plastic will be removed from the environment?
