Answer 1

Explanation:

• Littering of plastics in open spaces creates unhygienic conditions, as it acts as a breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes that cause diseases like malaria and dengue.
• Plastics do not undergo degradation, thus, stay in the soil for many years, which affects soil fertility and degrades the soil quality.
• When plastic artifacts enter the drainage and sewerage system, they block the pipes and the drains causing waterlogging.
• The improperly disposed of food bags, when eaten by animals, cause stomach and intestine related disease which even lead to suffocation and death.
