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 the governments and individuals to solve this problem?

Since saving our own nature from various problems

such

as pollution, and the impact on various living creatures due to the polythene

usage

, each and everyone in the community contributes to safeguarding the atmosphere.

This

essay illustrates how harmful the

usage

of

plastic

is to the environment, and the measures to be taken by Government and Individuals.

Plastic

has become a common material in human daily life.

For example

, while buying vegetables, groceries and many other products,

plastic

bags are being used to carry those. Almost all drinking

water

and cool drinks are supplied in

plastic

bottles

only. Nowadays

plastic

is used for packaging purposes too. Even though

plastic

usage

looks simple for everyone, it is creating many harmful surroundings as it cannot be demolished. Right after

usage

plastic

bags,

bottles

and packing covers are thrown in the garbage and there are high chances that the same

plastic

is being consumed by other animals like cows, oxen, buffaloes and

water

animals.

As a result

of it, many are falling sick because they do not have the ability to digest the

plastic

.

Additionally

,

plastic

molecules get mixed with

water

easily due to the rise in temperature which typically happens during travel from one place to another. People who take

such

water

, maybe diagnosed with cancer as per the recent reports.

Therefore

, the government should come up with public awareness programs and invest more in research institutes to come up with alternative materials to replace polythene completely. As everyone in society holds responsible for

this

, people should stop using the harmful things made up of

plastic

. Alternatively, they can use paper or cloth bags which are in use nowadays. They should take a pledge not to use

plastic

anymore in the future to preserve our environment for the

next

generations.

Additionally

, there are many metal

bottles

are available in the market.

Hence

, the public shows more interest to buy

such

instead

of

plastic

bottles

. In conclusion, I strongly believe, all these precautionary measures and alternatives would reduce the damage due to

plastic

to nature.
