Usually cooking oil ends up in the kitchen sink or bathroom sink. Of course, some of us do not know the destruction we are causing to the environment and we continue unscathed...
1. Consider that, a liter of burnt oil, it contaminates almost a million liters of water, quantity which is sufficient to meet the needs of a person in water for 14 years!!
2. If again the used oil ends up in the trash, as it is flammable, causes landfill fires with a public health hazard.
3. The not bad habit of throwing it down the sink, results in charge of the biological treatment of the city's waste.
For this used oil…
- We do NOT throw it down the drain because it clogs it.
- We do NOT throw it in the trash because it makes them flammable.
- We do NOT throw it into the sea because it repels plankton and fish.
- We do NOT throw it in the countryside because it pollutes the water table.
- We do NOT feed it to our animals because it will eventually end up on our plate.
- We do NOT eat it because it seriously harms us.
- We do NOT make it into soap because it can damage our skin.
The most correct thing is to collect the frying oil and deliver it to the places that have assumed this responsibility.
Specifically, it is the AB Vasilopoulos supermarkets, Veropoulos, in small shops with an ecological orientation and in the Municipalities.
The Municipalities, they collect the frying oil and then use it to heat schools, kindergartens, etc.
It's not amazing;
There are also some companies that do this work!!
