A selection of disposable and absolutely useless things that harm the environment (14 photos)

29 March 2023

Recently, more and more people are thinking about the environment and the health of our mother nature. For environmental problems are becoming more and more obvious and unpleasant. It is clear that it is not necessary to become ardent eco-activists and radically change their lives. Simple enough once again not to litter the world around with unnecessary garbage, sort it and use things from more environmentally friendly materials. But many manufacturers don't care about that. They make useless disposable items that could easily be dispensed with.

It would seem that the prefix "eco" should close all claims, however, such a disposable grill does more harm than good.

A real grill only needs to be made once, it is made from simple steel and lasts for decades. Disposable grill needed be transported by boats, trucks and so on, resulting in wasted fossil fuel.

It also requires continuous production, which results in chemical emissions and waste.
