QUESTION-2 Read the passage carefully and make notes. (5 Marks) The effects of plastic bags on the environment are really quite devastating because there is no disposal method that will really help eliminate the problem. While reusing them is the first step, most people don't do it, The because most of them are not durable enough to survive multiple use. biggest problem with them is that once they have been soiled, they end up in the trash, which then ends up in the landfill or is up I or is burned. Either solution is very poor for the environment. Burning emits toxic gases In the atmosphere while landfills hold them indefinitely as part of the plastic waste problem that harm the throughout the globe. One of the greatest problems is that an estimated 300 million plastic bags end up in the Atlantic Ocean alone. These bags are very dangerous for sea life, especially those of the mammal variety. Any hunting mammal can easily mistake the size, shape and texture of the plastic bag for a meal and find its airway cut off. Needless deaths from plastic bags are increasing every year. The environmental balance of the waterways is being thrown off by the rate of plastic bags finding their way y into the mouths and intestinal tracts of sea mammals. As one species begins to die off at an abnormal rate, every other living organism in the waterways is impacted. The indefinite period of time that it takes for the average plastic bag to break down can be literally hundreds of years. Every bag that ends up in the woodlands of the country threatens the natural progression of wildlife. Because the breakdown rate is so slow, the chances that the bag will harmlessly go away are extremely slim. Throughout the world plastic bags are responsible for suffocation and The deaths of woodland animals as well as inhibiting soil nutrients. land litter that is made up of plastic bags has the potential to kill over and over again. It has been estimated that one bag has the potential to unintentionally kill one animal per every three months due to unintentional digestion or inhalation. plastic bags in alation. While it's a noble thought to place the the recycling bin every week, studies have proven that there are very few recycling plants that actually recycle them. Most municipalities either burn them or send them off to the landfill after sorting. This is because it can be be expensive to recycle this type of plastic. It doesn't melt down easily and is often not to be reused in its original form. The premise of recycling these bags is nice. Yet emise funding for the upgrading of the recycling units just has not happened and thus less than one per cent of hot happened and all bags are sent to recycling plants worldwide. Most are left to become a pollution problem in one way all Vage are a or another. There are always alternatives to plastic bags and the search for more alternatives continues. Paper bags are a possible option but they also take their toll on the environment. The use of trees to raper increase the production of paper products will also have a negative environmental effect. Reusable plastic bags are being introduced into regions that want to outlaw the plastic bags altogether. These are stronger and more durable and can be used for three to five trips to the market. Of course, the reusable cloth bag is fast becoming a favourite among environment supporters. While, thus far, no bag is without its issues, these are the bags that are currently recommended for use to help protect environmental concerns.
