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

Plastic

is a non-degradable material. Nowadays, the

usage

of

plastic

items is increased drastically more than in the past.

Plastic

bags, bottles and packages are having adverse effects on nature. Dumping

plastics

in water bodies can affect aquatic animals and burning can makes high air pollution which badly affects the environment. Certain measures from the government authority and individuals can resolve

this

problem to a great extent.

Firstly

,

Plastics

can be used usually only once,after that the people will dispose of the water or land. Those

plastics

get accumulated in seas or rivers and can cause severe damage to aquatic animals.

For instance

, recently BBC issued many photographs of dolphins, sharks and turtles got affected by

this

.

Moreover

, while burning

plastics

, a great amount of carbon dioxide gets emitted and causes more air pollution. The ministry can impose tariffs on

plastic

products which reduces their

usage

.

For instance

, many GCC countries that imposing extra prices on

plastics

bag in supermarkets which reduced the

usage

of

plastic

bags.

In addition

to that, the authority can conduct campaigns to create public awareness.

Also

, each people start using more bio-degradable products like paper, jute and so on

instead

of

plastic

. Recently, I read an article about a person in Spain who consumes zero

plastic

in his daily life. These stories give us the motivation to make a small step which leads to a great change in the world. In conclusion, in order to save the environment, the government and the public put their hands together to reduce the

usage

of

plastic

can save nature for our future generations.
