harmfull effect of plastic 150 words
Answers
Though plastic is quite useful, yet it causes pollution everywhere. Let’s see how it pollutes our environment. Plastics have become almost an integral part of each and every human being’s life on the planet. There is no company, manufacturer, seller that does not use plastic. Plastics have become ubiquitous. The consumption of plastics across the globe is quite staggering. According to oceancrusaders.org shoppers worldwide are using approximately 500 billion single-use plastic bags per year.
The problem with most of the plastics is their toxicity, strength, and the ability to last long in all types of weather or climate conditions. Plastic bags would not be as dangerous if they would decompose on their own.
Though they are quite useful to human beings, but they are very dangerous for environment and animals. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has confirmed plastic debris kills approximately 100,000 marine mammals every year, as well as millions of birds and fishes.
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’.
