Are Plastics Bad for You
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse. The is the GREEN motto, but is it always safe? A study has come out that states that using recycled bottoms with 3,6,7 on them are unsafe because they have harmful chemicals that are given off and ingested by us. They also say that plastics with a 1 should only be used one time. So tell me what chemicals are given off by the plastics 3,6,and 7, and why can you only use plastic 1 one time?

These chemicals are not good to digest. you will get sick and that is not cool. So, dont recycle. Its that easy.
This guys come in with their fancy number telling me how many times i can recycle. THe man ain't holdin me down. I'm a recycling machine. Expecially when they have a one on them, they ain't gunna hold my back
Polyethylene terephthalate, high density polyethylene, and phlyvinyl choloride. They aren't good for you or the environment and should not be digested. It can cause great sickness.
Plastic 3 is also called PVC or vinyl. It releases many carcigens. Polyethylene terephthalate is the #1 and is not reuseable. Number 3 and 6 plastics contan harmful chemicals the same as PVC but not as many.
The chemicals are bad because they get released when things are reused. They change once they are reused because the process of recycling changes chemicals and stuff that can make them harmful at times. It's bad, don't do it.
