plastic bags ,plastic bottles and plastic packaging are bad for the environment. what damage does plastic do to the environment?what can be done by governments and individuals to solve this problem?

Our world is going through an environmental crisis and

plastic

plays a major role in it. It has become part of our daily life;

however

, its proper disposal has become a difficult problem to tackle. The combined effort of both the government and people are necessary to control

this

issue. Though

plastic

is immensely useful to us, it is very difficult to

dispose

Add the preposition

ofdispose

show examples

due to the fact that it is non-biodegradable. It is now present in our food chain,

this

is a cause for concern along with the fact that both wildlife and sea life are

also

subjected to the side effects of it.

For example

, there have been reports where debris was found inside fish, turtles and dolphins being suffocated by wires around their neck. Studies have

also

found that most of the food that we consume has a trace amount of

plastic

waste in it. Various campaigns are being organised by the government and non-governmental organisations to make the people aware and

also

to provide a safe means for wastes disposal at the grassroots level.

For instance

, many villages in Kerala is providing door-to-door service to collect waste, these are

then

taken into a waste management factory.

Also

, some states have banned the use of polythene bags under certain microns and are promoting the use of cloth-based carry bags.

Nevertheless

, the most important method to reduce its usage is by the process of recycling. Educational institutions are

also

playing a major role in creating awareness and promoting

this

by conducting various workshops and seminars. In conclusion, though

plastic

has become an inseparable part of our life, it is our responsibility to be aware of the dangers and to take appropriate measures

such

that it would not harm our environment.

However

, if

this

situation is left untreated

this

will result in a global disaster which would prove fatal to all the living organisms.
