#damage #plastic #environment #governments #individuals
It is irrefutable that
plastic
 harms the
environment
 to a great extent. No one can deny the fact that there are myriad cons to the use of
plastic
 in daily life.
This
 essay intends to throw light on the disadvantages of
plastic
 and what are possible solutions to overcome the problem. There is a great trend in
people
 to use
plastic
 bags, bottles, and packing as
plastic
 products are affordable, versatile, and durable but at the same time, these products are very harmful to the
environment
 and
also
 to human and animal health.
Such
 bags, bottles, packing, toys, and many other things made up of
plastic
 remain in the soil as these are not biodegradable;
hence
, it gets mixed with soil, impairing its breathability, and hampering the water flow
thus
 causing infertility of soil.
Moreover
, aquatic animals and coral reefs are mostly being hurt by these materials. Today,
plastic
 material can be found in animals, birds, and fish, it is really dangerous for our ecosystem. But how we can conquer
this
 situation? In my opinion, the concerned authorities and masses
people
 can turn the tide and mend the damage done to the
environment
, for that, they have to ensure that both play their part efficiently.
First,
people
 need to spontaneously take part in the
plastic
 recycling process by putting waste in a separate trash bin. Authorities must make sure that all recyclable
plastic
 materials are properly recycled and utilized. The government can impose hefty taxes on
plastic
 products to discourage
people
 from using them,
in addition
, sustainable
plastic
 waste management seminars can inspire
people
 to save the
environment
. In conclusion,
plastic
 is on the brink of a threat to our world, and if we both -government and individual- work hard in hand
then
 the chance is one day, we would be able to see a world where
plastic
 is not a problem anymore.
