Every Saturday, members post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, September 15, 2007, is PLASTIC.
Plastic is an easy theme for me. In my country, the Philippines, plastic connotes people who are like Janus in the coin who showed a two-faced, well, face. This means people who are nice to you but say bad things about you behind your back. If I go by that theme, my post would probably be like a hate post so I wouldn’t. 
Plastic is one of the leading and most common non biodegradable materials around us. So we should not just throw it everywhere we fancy. Like this:
That was a sad photo, a direct disrespect for Mother Nature. There is a saying that what goes around, comes around. So when rains come, expect places like these to have clogged drainage where mosquitoes breed which in turn brings about diseases.
On the other hand, plastic is useful and here are some examples of toys made of plastic in the therapy room where I teach where this supposedly happened:
A bucket of Lego bricks to enhance creativity and imagination as well as develop fine-motor dexterity.
A Fisher-Price toy for pounding.
Little People toys for pretend play and spontaneous speech production.
A card from the Super Duper Fun Deck Story Starters. These are laminated with plastic to be able to last.
Julian and Tania’s favorite toy blocks in my workplace with multiple shapes and colors. Very good to boost imaginative play.
