                                     Say No To Plastic

Who had thought plastic would one day become such an unmanageable problem for the entire world? Plastic is problematic! Its use in almost everything has led to such humongous piles of indecomposable waste matter that it has created real hell of debris on land and in water. The water bodies and the aquatic flora and fauna have been affected the most.

A walk along any river, lake, and beach is sufficient to know the consequences of this ubiquitous ugliness floating. According to Ocean Crusaders, an organization dedicated to fighting plastic pollution 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean. According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, plastic debris kills an estimated 100,000 marine mammals annually, as well as millions of birds and fishes. Scientists in their recent research have found plastic to be much more toxic than previously expected. Plastic is making our environment highly toxic.

The need of the hour is to replace plastic with environmental friendly materials. All of us need to join our hands to fight this menace and preserve our beautiful environment. We must stop using plastic altogether. The governments of various nations, including our national Government have launched anti-plastic campaigns. We can make these campaigns by saying ‘NO TO PLASTIC’. Let’s use environment friendly materials such as paper, jute, etc. and clear our planet of the evil of plastic.   

Answer 2

Explanation:

plastics are considered to be a wonderful invention of science. They are light, cheap, waterproof and of non-teasing nature and by virtue of these qualities they have very conveniently replaced the cloth, jute and paper bags in our day to day life. However, all of us seem to ignore the hazardous aspects of using Polybags. Polybags have become such a significant part of our life that we hardly ever think of saying no to Polybags despite all the hazards of using them.

Use of Polybags has been causing immense harm to the environment. Millions and millions of Polybags are being used for time periods ranging from a few minutes to a few hours and once their utility is over, they are thrown away to clog drains and choke the soil. Hot edible items put in or stored in Polybags results in contamination of the food items and consumption of such food items can adversely affect the human health. Many a time, littering of Polybags here and there causes animals to eat those and get choked to death. Clogging of drains due to Polybags can cause overflowing of rainwater thereby giving rise to an unclean and unhygienic situation. Being non-porous and also non-biodegradable Polybags obstruct the free flow of water and air. Polybags also contain toxic chemicals. Thus, they choke the soil and suffocate the roots of plants. Of Polybags are thrown on the ground, the toxic chemicals additives leach the soil thereby rendering the soil infertile, where plants stop growing. Polybags also cause the problem of waterlogging and such water logging has been known to trigger landslides in hilly areas. Being non-biodegradable, Polybags take a huge number of years to get decomposed.

So, what is the solution? The most convenient and alternative opinion would be to use a cloth or jute bag while we move out of our homes. Bags made of cloth or jute are eco-friendly and easy to carry. There should impose a ban on the use of Polybags. It is important that we save our world from the menace of Polybags. Otherwise the day is not far when we will have a planet without any plants and animals, and of course, human beings.
