According to a study of the World Health Organization (WHO), it finds the existence of microplastic in 90% of water bottles which has been tested. The consumption of microplastic will cause respiratory diseases, and regulate the heart rate, digestion, fertility as well. Question: How would Ethical egoism, Duty Ethics and Rule Utilitarianism respond to the use of polythene bags which, in one hand, is found cheaper and easier than the use of other alternatives, on the other hand, is resulting in devastating effects on ecological health as well as human health?
