Plastic bags, plastic bottels and plastic packaging are bad for environment. - What damage does plastic do the environment? - What can be done by government & individuals solve this problem?

A great amount of wasting

plastic

materials can be really harmful to the environment. The way I see it,

plastic

waste

does not decompose and can end up in landfills or the environment. New rules must be brought in by governments to sort out

plastic

waste

and

then

recycle or reuse them.

Similarly

, people should be attentive too provided that they throw away the rubbish full of

plastic

stuff.

To begin

waste

management is crucial for public health and plant life. Those countries which do not practice garbage sorting into paper, bio-

waste

, glass and

plastic

, for sure have bad air quality, merely because they burn all their non-recyclable trash in landfills. What is more, they have to take up huge areas near the city to send the trash there.

For example

, in Armenia, the rubbish, once it is collected, is taken to the dumps where it is burnt and all the dangerous gasses emit into the atmosphere. Personally, I deem that the role of the government in

such

a significant environmental issue is irreplaceable. There is no doubt that citizens should take care of their surroundings too, but the biggest load lies on authorities. To resolve

this

situation, the government can create new regulations or a new system for

plastic

waste

and recycling that have been sorted in advance by people.

For instance

, the government can sponsor old factories to collect all plastics that can be crushed and

then

reuse them by melting and moulding them into new objects. To come up with

conclusion,

plastic

products

such

as bottles and bags, are not environmentally friendly, unless they are sorted and recycled. It is true, that people and authorities should go green by setting new regulations for their own country and for public health.
