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

Over the past few decades, there has been a drastic enhancement in the usage of
plastic
items
such
as
plastic
polybags,
plastic
food packaging materials, and
plastic
water bottles. One cannot deny the fact that the immense use of anything and everything brings some adverse consequences. In
this
essay, I will elicit the harmful effects of
such
excessive usage of
plastic
materials and provide mitigates to reduce its impact. It is true that
plastic
-made packaging goods are convenient and cheaper ways of delivering loaves of bread and drinks to the customer.
Also
, these packaging materials are generally for one-time use and major concern arises at the time of disposal of
such
items.
For instance
, a study conducted by various researchers declared that a number of masses dump these
plastic
bags
and bottles in water and its toxic elements contaminated the water.
This
is ultimately resulting in the extinction of various sea species and animals.
Furthermore
, if
such
plastics are burned, chemicals released from polymers on land cause soil erosion or soil pollution. Apart from
this
, it
also
results in air pollution when burned.
Consequently
, these air pollutants cause serious health concerns to the nearby inhabitants. Irrespective of several restrictions imposed by the government,
plastic
carry
bags
are still available in the consumer market. I would like to suggest that the central government should levy high penal charges on the producers who manufacture
such
items and provide subsidy to the manufacturing concerns that promotes eco-friendly products
such
as cloth
bags
and paper
bags
.
In addition
to
this
, the local authorities should organise seminars in colleges and other educational institutions to spread awareness among the public about the negative effects of polymers and plastics.
Besides
this
, it is the duty of every individual to follow the rules and regulations formulated by the health minister from time to time strictly. In light of the above discussion, I would like to recommend that a strong will and concerted efforts of every individual and government can go a long way in tackling
this
serious issue

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
