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 the problem?

Plastic

materials

such

as bottles,

bags

and packages are detrimental to the planet. The damage that

this

will make to the environment is

waste

piling in deep oceans and the most viable solution is to ban all

plastic

materials

from daily

usage

. The principal problem associated with the use of

plastic

creates the massive disposal of non-used

materials

discarded on sea beds.

This

may affect the life of aquatic creatures and other mammals unable to survive in the contaminated water.

Furthermore

, the non-segregation of

waste

products at the origin itself pollutes the air which makes the

atmosphere

unable to breathe for human beings.

For instance

, in India, 13000 tons of

plastic

waste

is getting disposed of in sea channels through which the water gets highly poisoned and affects the CO2 level in the

atmosphere

. The preferable solution is to have a complete ban on

plastic

usage

on the earth to avoid any

further

harm to the environment. The main responsibility lies with the government officials to give an alternative polythene recycling

bags

, and bottles for daily

usage

in the absence of plastics.

This

way, every individual can make sure that the living environment is free from any contaminated substances in the

atmosphere

.

For example

, in India, in 2018 government banned the

usage

of all the

plastic

materials

and provided paper

bags

for the

usage

which make every individual follow the rule with less impact on the

atmosphere

. To conclude, the earth with increased

usage

of

plastic

substances is highly harmful. The main problem that

this

may make is getting sea filled with

waste

products and the preferable solution is to avoid all using of

materials

made from plastics with another suitable type of

bags

in the market.
