Disposable Products : Convenience or A Hazard to the Environment?

Should disposable products be considered as convenience or a hazard to the environment?

These mostly made of plastic and some paper are becoming the cause for environmental pollution. Plastic disposable items, such as disposable plastic bottles (used for drinking water), disposable razors (which are not bio degradable) and paper based item such as paper plates, even though convenient for use, not only pollutes the environment but puts more burden in disposing them in proper manager.

Even though recycling is an option, but the cost of recycling plastic overrides the benefit you can get from recycling.

Considering the cost of recycling plastic and its effect on the environment, we should try to reduce the use of more plastic by reusing them, by using the traditional razor blades where you can replace the blades only, instead of throwing the whole thing.
