Answer:
please put me in the brain list
1.Wild life:Animals in the wild consume plastic bags that have ended up in the water and in the waste system. Every year, over 100,000 marine animals and 1,000,000 seabirds die from the consumption of plastic bags on the ocean's surface.
2. Destruction of local habitatas:Habitats are being destroyed not just because of climate change or poaching but because of plastic bags. Plastic bags, once settled, get into soil and slowly release toxic chemicals. They eventually break down into the soil, with the unfortunate result being that animals eat them and often choke and die. Plastic bags also make their way into our sewage systems. Runoff water collects and carries discarded plastic bags and ultimately washes them into storm sewers.
3.Risks to humans: there is also the issue of health risks that plastic bags pose to the human population due to the toxins they release.
4. Aesthetic degradation: A buildup of plastic bags ruins the aesthetics of an area, which to many is not a frivolous concern. Studies have indicated that the ability to look out at a natural landscape brings with it a series of benefits.
