Explanation:
Plastics have shaped the society more than a better politician would shape the society; it is everywhere. From cell phones and computers to plates, bags, pens we write with. If on one side plastics have made and continue to make our lives easier and better, on the other hand, these plastics have left harmful imprints on the environment and perhaps even human health. The usage of plastics keeps increasing as the days go by. And if we believe the reports soon instead of looking at the natural beauty we’d be looking at ‘plastics’ ugliness.
If we look at environmentally, plastic is indeed a growing disaster. These synthetic polymers are made from petroleum or natural gas, non-renewable resources and then processed using energy-intensive techniques that damage fragile ecosystems. The manufacture of these plastics and its destruction by any means pollutes air, land, and water and exposes the living to toxic chemicals, including carcinogens.
Plastic packaging –especially the plastic bag – is a prominent source of landfill waste and it is regularly eaten by various marine and land animals, that lead to fatal consequences. Plastics do not biodegrade. It just accumulates in the landfills or pollutes the environment. Pollution from plastics may not be visible to us through naked eye but there are microscopic particles of plastics that are present in the air throughout the world.
Plastics are treated with chemicals and these chemicals are absorbed by the living. Some of the components in these chemicals can alter hormones or have other potential health effects. Floating plastic waste can survive for decades in water, and therefore it serves as mini transportation devices for invasive species, that disrupt other habitats.
Plastics in landfills can leach harmful chemicals that spread into groundwater. So it’s high time we start going back to our roots and start going organic.
