The excessive use of plastic causes damage to the environment in the following ways:

The polythenes when are burnt as a waste they release poisonous gases into the atmosphere which degrades the environment

Polythene wraps mixed with biodegradable wastes inhibit the activity by the microorganisms thus slowing the time period of the degradation of the waste..

They clog the drains leaving water log in many areas during rain…

Stray animals like cows sometimes eat these polythene wrapped with the food lying on the road side: this site is common where cleaning measures are not proper…

Polythenes are non bio degradable thus they need to be burned or dumped in a land pit to get them rid of the environment

They can be recycled but only upto a certain extent after they are no good for use…

These are few side effects of polythenes on the environment
