Answer 1

Answer:

• Plastics that are chlorinated can release a number of chemicals into the soil that is present in the surrounding system. This in turn results in these chemicals seeping into the groundwater and polluting the natural ecosystem. In addition to this, plastics can cause a lot of harm to animals that survive on this water.

anything, even plastics may actually have a beneficial use, despite the damage they are causing.

1. Plastic is ubiquitous

Plastic debris is found absolutely everywhere, from the Arctic to Antarctica. It clogs street drains in our cities; it litters campgrounds and national parks, and is even piling up on Mount Everest (link). But thanks runoff, and to our fondness for directly dumping our trash into the nearest river or lake, plastic is growing increasingly common in the world’s oceans.

• 2. Plastics are one of the main products of fracking
• We already know that fracking is bad for the planet — it pollutes water, soil and air with toxins, it creates underground cavities that collapse into sinkholes, and it raises pressure in underground rock formations, destabilizing them and leading to earthquakes, even in places where earthquakes are uncommon. Adding insult to injury, one of the main products of fracking is … plastics. Basically, fossil fuels removed from shale and other rock formations are turned into resin pellets that are used to manufacture ever more plastics, plastics that are easily discarded, plastics that usually are designed to be single use

Answer 2

Answer:

Plastics are made up of chemicals and they are Non-biodegradable waste and they wont decompose even after a century of years. So, there is no way to decompose it naturally. Some people are unaware of this and they dump the plastic wastes along with vegetable wastes to a barren land and when it sticks on a plant, the plant does not get air to breath and the plant dies and if a animal eats it unknowingly it also leads to the death of the animal and if we burn the plastic, the plastic exposes harmful chemicals to the atmosphere and we may get respiratory diseases if we inhale it and if we throw the plastic to water, it may be eaten by some aquatic animals and it leads to their death. Thus, plastic harms all the species in one or the other way, so as a responsible being of this environment, we must join our hands in reducing the usage of plastic and to bring awareness among the common people about the harmful effects of plastics.
