Sub :- Plastics should be banned
Respected Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I beg to state that the careless use of plastics are damaging the environment.
These days many people eat chips and kurkures and throw the plastic packets in the road. These packets then go and choke the drains. As a result the waste water from the drain comes in the road. Many peoples take polythene bags and use them carelessly. They tie the vegetable peels and other things in the polythene bags and throw it in the roads or beside the roads. As a result, animals like cows are coming and trying to eat those vegetable peels, they aren't able to open the bags and thus, eat the vegetable peels along with plastics which leads to death of animals. These happened just a few days ago in my locality.
Many peoples are trying to burn and eliminate these plastics. But, by burning those plastics many toxic gases are released, even the plastics donot get completely burnt. Some peoples are trying to burry them in the soil. But by doing this, the rain water won't be able to seep or penetrate into the soil and thus, water will remain stagnent in lands.
Although plastics are very useful in our daily lives, only when we use them carefully.
Government should take necessary steps to prevent this harm to environment. I hope that you will grant my request and add it to your editorial columns.
Thank you
Your's faithfully
(Your Name)

The Editor,

Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed national newspaper I wish to draw the attention of the general public on the harmful effects of plastic and the means to curb the use of plastic to prevent environmental degradation.
Plastics products including plastic bags are a health hazard. Exposure to toxic chemicals emitted by plastics causes cancer, decreases the effectiveness of the immune system, and are responsible for many other diseases.
Dumping of plastic bags, plastic bottles, etc. has created an unhygienic condition to our environment. Plastic litters has become a major pollution to our surrounding.
Plastics are not bio-degradable and can remain unchanged for many years. This adversely affects the fertility and the quality of the soil.
Our freshwater sources like rivers and lakes are becoming dumpsters for plastic bags.
Plastic products, especially plastic bags find their way into rivers and oceans. They are swallowed by fish, seabirds, and other marine creatures leading to death by suffocation.
Since plastic bags, plastic bottles and other discarded plastic products do not degrade, they accumulate in drainage and sewerage systems and block the flow causing waterlogging.
Plastic products including plastic bags are often disposed off by burning and this releases poisonous gases into the atmosphere and pollutes the air we breathe.
Some ways to reduce the use of plastic bags:
Say "No" to plastic or polythene bags given by shopkeepers. Carry your own shopping bag.
Carefully separate plastic products from other garbages for recycling.
Stop buying plastic products. When there is less demand, the manufacturing will decrease.
Replace plastic bags with bags made of biodegradable materials like cotton and jute.
Stop burning plastic as a means of waste disposal. The toxic gases released pollute the air we breathe.
Don't buy bottled water. Carry your own nonplastic water bottle.
Your sincerely,
