We are going to discuss every question seperately.

1. What is plastic pollution?

↪️Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans. Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on size.

2. What are the causes of plastic pollution?

↪️Negligence is the main cause. In fact, it is estimated that 80% of marine litter comes from land. This pollution comes mainly from household waste, which is poorly recycled, dumped in landfills or abandoned in nature. This waste is carried by the winds, pushed by the rains into sewers, streams, rivers, and finally in the oceans. Natural disasters such as floods must be considered as other causes of plastic pollution as well.

3. What are the ways by which it can be reduced?

↪️

  • SPREAD THE WORD
  • IF YOU DON'T REUSE, REFUSE
  • WASTE LESS, RECYCLE MORE
