The cooking oil is one of the most dangerous sources of pollution for the planet. They are, unfortunately, still many people who without much thought, after fried and cooked, throw in the sink or in the toilet drain, the oil used, we do not think quite as easy superficiality of this act will cause harm to the seas, in today’s constant danger from the precarious balance of an ecosystem.

The food oil comes from frying oils of vegetable seeds: the high temperature to which it is subjected to because of its use in kitchens, causes a change to its polymeric structure in addition to the consequent to emanate of pollutants for the charring of the food waste.

Pollutant to the seas, that despite the presence of purifiers are achieved through the sewers, if the fried oil dispersed into the ground creates a thin film around the landforms, creating an unnatural separation between plants, soil, and nutrients. Deposits of oil on the soil prevent the oxygenation of the plants and the proper and viable development of the flora.

The waste cooking oil can also damage the water table and water wells also achieve a considerable distance: do you think that would be enough a liter of oil mixed with one million liters of water to alter the taste with a serious health risk. In the case of inadequate sanitation, disposal of oily residues will adversely affect the proper activity of the purifiers with consequences in terms of ecology and additional costs.

Taking into account all factors taken into consideration it is important to properly dispose of the cooking oil. At present, in many cities and towns of our country are containers for the collection, but if you were not present at the place where you live.

After it has cooled, you can pour the cooking oil in a bottle or container to keep under the sink and fill up every time you cook or fry: remember to affix a label to ensure that children do not confuse with other similar bottles and seek to ecological oasis in the vicinity of your home, or ask a friend who has a restaurant: now enough with the cooking oil down the drain! You will make a pleasure to ecology and especially to you and your children.
