Plastic is harmful because it is 'Non-Biodegradable'. When thrown on land it makes the soil less fertile. When thrown in water it chokes our ponds, rivers and oceans and harms the sea life.

Chlorinated plastic can release harmfulchemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources and also the ecosystem. This can cause serious harm to the species that drink the water.

hope this help you:)

Polythene is harmful to the environment as it doesn't gets degraded by any natural process and remains for a long time.

According to a research all polythene produced till date still exists.
