Some people think that governments should ban plastic completely, arguing that the material pollutes land, sea, and air, contaminating food sources and causing damage to humans and animals alike. Others believe that plastic makes life safer, healthier, and more convenient, and therefore governments should approach its regulation more conservatively. Which of these two opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

This

text speaks about the ban on using

plastic

from 2025 in Australia. Especially single used plastics as they help to increase the use of

this

material,

such

as lightweight

plastic

bags;

plastic

misleadingly labelled “degradable”;

plastic

utensils and stirrers;

plastic

straws; polystyrene food containers; polystyrene consumer goods packaging; and microbeads in personal care products.

Furthermore

, by December 2022 the use of expanded polystyrene food containers will be prohibited. It remains to be decided what that word will cover. It is important to know that Australia produces 2.5m tonnes of

plastic

waste each year.

This

aim will not be met until the producers of

this

material have voluntary to harm the environment. Personally, I agree that

plastic

is dangerous for our life, as many scientists discovered that

this

material contains a sort of poison that can be mixed with our food, our drink. It is sure that safe

plastic

exists, but it is

also

said that it is not the perfect choice. We are all conscious that it is impossible to have a degraded piece of

plastic

even after one hundred years.

Therefore

, producers and scientists have to find an alternative to it or maybe try and make them safer, so everyone can enjoy using them. It is true that using plastics is useful for everybody.

However

, it can damage the environment,

besides

it can produce new sicknesses to its users.

Hence

, we can't force people to change

this

behaviour, we have rather raise awareness among them.
