Past Non-Eco-Friendly Products
Environmental Harms of Non-Eco-Friendly Products
In the past, non-environmentally friendly products had included petrochemicals, plastics, and non-reusable materials. Those non-environmentally friendly products can negatively impact the environment. For example, there are numerous waste dumps in the ocean. Nature can not decompose the enormous amount of waste. This can cause the marine organisms accidental ingestion or entanglement which will lead to death. For instance, the sea turtles were trapped by the discarded fishing nets. Therefore, the fishing net will bring about restricted movement, amputation, and asphyxia. Furthermore, if the plastics are left in water for the long-term it can produce the smell of seaweed. Which will make the ingestion by marine life.

Non-Eco-Friendly Products with Green Products
Green products can reduce the negative impact on the environment. Consumer awareness of the environment increases, therefore, more people support and buy green products. This support for green products has led to gradual popularization in today's market. People become environmentally friendly by changing their lifestyles. For example, food, clothing, appliances, and transportation choices.

In addition, with advancements in technology, many companies are willing to utilize technology to manufacture green goods, making green products more economically feasible and widespread.
