It is undeniable to agree with the statement ‘Ban
plastic
 and save the Environment’. In recent times, statistics have shown that
plastic
 bottles,
plastic
 packaging and
plastic
bags
 are ruining the environment. In the below paragraphs, I shall illustrate the damage caused by
plastic
 to nature.
Firstly
, the usage of
plastic
 is seen more in the retail Industry. Despite government banning the
plastic
, the perseverance of
plastic
bags
 still exists. The retail industry encourages more polyethene
bags
 to carry out grocery items inside the retail market. Using
plastic
bags
 is never an issue but not effectively

 them for recycling is the actual issue.
For example
, when a commoner uses a
plastic
 bag and litters them around will have a greater impact. The
plastic
 lying down is never decomposed and leads to serious fertility problems.
Secondly
, throwing away
plastic
 in water bodies is commonly seen in many countries. The
plastic
 floating on the water will cause ecological imbalance as many species die by swallowing them.
For instance
, in 2006, the disruption of a steamer caused a spill of a
plastic
 bag of oil into the water, which caused an immense death rate in marine animals. To eradicate the damage or imbalance caused by
plastic
 to the atmosphere. Government should take serious measures
such
 as issuing tickets or fines for littering
plastic
.
Although
, 100 per cent diminishing
plastic
 usage is not possible, creating awareness by conducting interactive social campaigns and educating people about the bad results of having
plastic
 around can negotiate the impact at least to a certain extent.
