| Plastic Is Better Than Glass |
| I believe that plastic is a better material choice than glass because it is less harmful to the environment |

Are you completely dense? Plastic is by no means better for the environment than glas. Glass is
ENTIRELY organic and will not harm the environment in almost anyway, shape, or form. Whereas plastic
is highly destructive to the environment. The creation and disposal of plastics completely ruins the
earth. Gain some common sense please. |

Plastic uses a lot more manufacturing, and is made from Oil, therefore it is twice as worse, Glass
is made from natural things, which don't make you sick when looking at them.
Plus, if you eat plastic (too much) you can die, but with glass, its a lot harder to eat so =p |

The one thing I can say is DO YOUR HOMEWORK, plastic actually never recycles. It does not breakdown
and is nothing but filling landfills because people don't recycle enough and you cant wash the
bacteria off of it if you put it in too hot of a sterilizer then guess what???? IT MELTS.. Glass is
much better, safer for all. |

Glass has always been a conventional material used in manufacturing utensils, showpieces and other
articles of daily use. Plastic is a modern supplement of glass which is a more light and hardy
substance. Hence plastic containers and carry-bags are used vastly. But they are not safe as the
glasswares are. They generate many dangerous bacteria and germs. The scientific formula for plastic
is bisphenol. This chemical distributes pollutants that can lead to hormonal disorder in human body.
The other fatal effects are abnormal chromosomes, miscarriages etc. Another form of plastic known as
polyvinyl chloride causes infertility, tissue damage in different organs etc. Plastic is not a
biodegradable material; it is dangerous for environmental balance. On the other hand glass
containers are absolutely harm-free and eco-friendly. Hence it is good to follow the traditions at
times by using glass instead of plastic, as it is not a good substitute. |

Plastic is a very serious issue here in the UK. |

Plastic never leaves this universe, therefore is horrible for the environment. |

I think plastic is greatly over used and not recycled by the irresponsible |

Plastic or glass? Well, in the US, I believe that we use more plastic containers than glass
containers. However, I believe that both plastic and glass are great products. As long as people are
recycling them, as they should be, then I believe that both are okay to use. I do not prefer one
over the other. It really depends on the product inside the bottle. Some products are better in
glass containers and other products are better in plastic containers. The main thing in this case is
recycling. It is very important that we recycle both plastic and glass in order to preserve the
future of our environment. |

I am against the statement. As long as plastic and glass are being recycled they do not pose any
threat to the environment as both are recyclable materials. When we consider the circumstances when
they are not being recycled and are left to decay plastic takes longer to decompose and harmful
gases are emitted during the process which makes plastic more harmful for the environment when
compared to glass. |

Both glass and plastic are recyclable and so long as they are recycled, neither is particularly
harmful to the environment. Plastic, however, is a petroleum product and as such, not a very
renewable resource. |
