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?

In the

last

few decades, there has been an enormous increment in the

usage

of

plastics

which is used in almost every sector which is resulting in polluting air, soil and water. Apparently, It is of utmost importance to reduce the over

usage

of plastic in order to combat the crisis. In the following paragraphs, I will provide an insight into the problems caused by using

plastics

and the probable solutions.

To begin

with, with the exponential uprise in the competitive market, industries are using non-biodegradable plastic and are resilient to find an alternative to it. The maximal garbage of the city contains

plastics

from every corner of the city and it

subsequently

reaches the oceans with the gulp of water the animals in the oceans die out as

plastics

cannot be degraded in the body. As per the environmentalists, if the continual increase of

plastics

is not controlled, the time is not far when there will be more

plastics

in the ocean than the water beings. In order to alleviate the problem, the government should pose heavy penalties and strict norms over the

usage

of non-biodegradable materials on daily basis. New programs should be introduced to increase the awareness of the detrimental effects of

plastics

on the ecosystem and the planet. The government should

also

come up with policies to stop the

usage

of non-biodegradable in the industries. To summarize, new policies should be implemented by lawmakers to protect our environment as it's a need of an hour to protect and restore our planet, so that future generations can live a healthy life.
