Answer 1

Answer:

if we decide to give a name to the present age—in particular the last 30 years—we would surely call it the Plastic Age. The invention of plastic was hailed as man’s brilliance – a boon. It was light in weight and easy to mould. Within a very short time it replaced metal for items of daily use like buckets, pipes, ropes, some items of furniture and numerous other items; pens that we use, the bottles, our spectacle frames and even dress material! The markets were flooded with colourful plastic goods that were cheap and easy to maintain. Being cheap, people began to look at it as a dispensable commodity and a new term ‘use and throw’ became a way of life. Plastic bags and bottles have become the most common items.
