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 this problem?

It is an undeniable fact that

plastic

bags, bottles and wrapping are hazardous to the environment. I hold the view that there could be multiple reasons behind

problem.

However

, in order to tackle

this

issue, some radical measures can be taken by the government. One of the main detrimental effects of using polyethene material seems to have increased pollution. What I mean by

this

Linking Words

is that things, which are purely made up of

plastic

, polyethene bags,

for instance

, are not easily degradable or recyclable.

Therefore

Linking Words

, in order to decompose these objects, they need to be burnt out which releases toxic gases into the atmosphere and contributes to increasing the carbon footprint.

This

Linking Words

issue can be addressed by replacing

materials with eco-friendly and degradable ones. Take decomposable bags,

for example

, which are made from banana peel.

As a result

, these can easily be recycled without producing any waste. Another damaging impact is poor health. To put it more clearly,

although

vast usage of

plastic

products all over the globe, these can have severe repercussions on health. For illustration, according to a large number of research, nowadays, one of the major causative factors of cardiovascular diseases,

such

as heart attack, is the usage of

containers or bowls, while microwaving food.

This

is because, radioactive rays, which are produced by the microwave oven, penetrate into the food via

and start a chain reaction.

Consequently

,

reaction leads to a rise in the cholesterol level and causes heart vessels to get shrunk. To solve

this

issue, materials which are manufactured from glass, could be used which prevent the penetration of hazardous waves into the food and avoid any chain reaction to embark and

thus

, reduce the chances of having detrimental effects on health. To sum up, in my view, the damaging impacts of polyethene products on the environment can be combated by replacing them with degradable ones and glass-made products.
