Sir,
Subject - The treat of pollution.
Respected Sir/Madam, Through the esteemed column - Commoner's Voice of your Newspaper, I would like to express my concern about the problems that Earth faces due to use of plastic which is not disposed properly. Everyone today is dependent on plastic. Life without plastic is unthinkable.
The Problem: Over 1 million marine animals (including mammals, fish, sharks, turtles, and birds) are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean (UNESCO Facts & Figures on Marine Pollution). Currently, it is estimated that there are 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world.
Even if discarded plastic ends up in a landfill, it can last here for up to 600 years. It doesn't go away, it just piles on. And with the coronavirus pandemic changing consumer consumption habits -- more takeout, more online ordering in boxes -- 2020 certainly won't be the year that we cut down on single-use plastic.
Hope you've understood my point.
Thank you
Your sincerely
Akash Singh
