Plastic is a powerful enemy to the environment due to the following reasons:
1. There is excess of it: plastic is one of the most identified type of refuse or trash. There is too much of it
2. Rampant waste: trash made of plastic like bags, bottles and packaging are thrown on a daily basis in forests, rivers, creeks, seas, oceans all over the world making plastic a very powerful enemy of the environment which is also caused by improper disposal.
3. Plastic doesn't disintegrate or break down: Plastic is not bio-degradable rather it is photo-degradable. This means the plastic never disappears and in the case where it breaks down it releases toxins that contaminate water and soil and even harms animals through ingestion.
4. Plastic is danger to aquatic life: Plastic is responsible for the death of millions of seals, dolphins, sea turtles and sharks. The impact of plastic pollution in oceans is so devastating
5. Plastic carry toxins: When plastic breaks down it does so dangerously by releasing harmful toxins such as BPA, phthalates and flame retardants.
6. Plastic production sustains the petroleum industry: The production of plastic uses a lot of petroleum which also has great impacts on the environment.
