More and more plastic is polluting in world city, countryside and ocean. What are the problems caused by plastic waste? What measures should be taken solve it?

It is true that

plastic

products

are polluting the whole world, including cities, countryside and ocean, as the increase in

plastic

use. Meanwhile, the

problems

caused by

plastic

waste

are obvious and cannot be ignored. In my opinion, some effective ways should be adopted to tackle these

problems

. On the one hand,

plastic

waste

has exerted all kinds of negative impacts on the environment and animals.

Firstly

, there is the term ‘white pollution’ which is created to describe the problem of

plastic

waste

making on the soil. As it is unlikely to be degraded by microbes, tons of

plastic

will degenerate the farmland, making it non-arable.

Secondly

,

plastic

waste

has put many wild animals in danger.

For example

, it is reported that a lot of birds will eat

this

waste

, like

plastic

bags

and nets, when

this

waste

is a mixture with food, which could lead to the death of these animals.

Besides

, particles produced from burning

plastic

products

will not only pollute the environment but

also

impair the human’s respiratory system. In my opinion, our governments and the public both should make their contributions to these

problems

. For governments, they could pass relative laws to regulate the utility of

plastic

products

, and fund

this

research which could promote the degradation of

plastic

waste

. For ordinary people, they can make their contribution by reducing the utility of

plastic

products

, especially

plastic

bags

, which, in fact, is the main source of

plastic

waste

.

Therefore

, recycling using

plastic

bags

or using other material

bags

when they shop are the easiest ways. In a nutshell, the

problems

caused by

plastic

waste

are various and harmful, but we can take many measures to minimize the influence produced by

this

.
