Wow! what an alarming janaza sms rhetoric about “Plastic”. Fellow abrenians do not be blinded about the wrong adjective about Plastic. I am an advocate in the continuous usage of plastic.

And it takes around 10 to 20 years to produce a full grown trees while plastics it takes only a few minutes janaza sms to produce one.

What should we do is proper disposal of plastics and proper discipline for the people using plastics. In Las Pinas & Paranaque there is a machine janaza sms that recycle pla
