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 individuals and government to solve this problem ?

The debris and wastage caused by the excess usage of carriers, containers, bottles, and wrappers made up of

plastic

material, is having a detrimental effect on nature.

This

is a serious problem because it affects the air and water quality, and

also

it occupies the landfill.

This

essay will consider the main causes of the

plastic

side effects, before proposing two possible solutions. Perhaps the most important cause of malleable product contamination is uncontrolled

plastic

waste management. Due to the growing population,

plastic

usage has drastically raised over the

last

few decades.

Also

, the masses

also

have a tendency to throw used

plastic

debris openly in the drainages, lakes, and rivers.

This

results

in addition

to water adulteration and in parallel create a threat to marine life. Another key factor, due to its non-degradable properties, more and more debris is dumped occupying the lands.

This

can lead to scarcity of land availability in the future, which can pose a threat to human survival. Fortunately,

however

, there are two promising solutions to

this

problem.

First

of all, people should not throw

plastic

waste in the open grounds and water resources.

This

would help in creating clean surroundings.

For instance

, people should use recycled, organic bags made of cane, cardboard, paper, etc.

Secondly

, Government should raise public awareness against the usage of

plastic

bags. They should impose hefty fines against the accused.

This

would generate fear and awareness in human minds. In conclusion,

plastic

contamination is a serious problem to earth

that is

primarily caused by inefficient waste management. I recommend that Government should take serious actions to prevent

further

damage to the environment for future generations.
