Comment 09- Dumbphones and plastics

A dumbphone is a simple, old-fashioned style mobile phone which can only make calls and send text messages. A dumbphone is a lot cheaper than a smartphone and its battery can last for weeks. 

Dumbphones are mostly used by old people because they find smartphones very complicated to use. 

I prefer smartphones because I enjoy surfing the Internet or using social media such as Instagram, Whtasapp or Facebook. 

About plastics, I think nowadays there is a serious problem about the use and the decay of the plastic. We are addicted to plastic, we use it in every part of our lives. The problem is that most of it is not biodegradable and it lasts for hundreds of years. Plastics are a real threaten for plants, wildlife, particularly marine animals and even humans.


I think that reducing the use of plastic bags, water bottles, straws or cups is the easiest way to start reducing plastic pollution. Then, we should recycle plastics properly throwing all kind of plastics into the yellow trash bin and reuse plastic items as much as possible if we want to reduce the amount of ¨new¨plastic in circulation.
