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

People have been using a lot of

plastic

products

such

as

plastic

bags,

plastic

bottles, and

plastic

packaging for a couple of decades. In turn,

this

is resulting in become distinct species extinct dramatically and causing some ecological problems in some parts of the world. Personally, I strongly believe that these issues can be handled to some degree if authorities and individuals take action in close collaboration.

To begin

with, we are being offered numerous

plastic

products in almost all aspects of our lives and most of them are single-use

plastics

. So, after using them we tend to throw those

plastics

away to the ground wherever we want. Fortunately, cleaning service workers or volunteers give a hand to clean up the litter.

This

,

however

, is very tough to clean up the garbage if they are thrown into rivers, seas, and oceans, where plenty of sea animals live in. The

plastic

products badly affect inhabitants in those places and even it has been causing to vanish some types of sea animals.

Moreover

, because of their molecular structure, a mixture of sulphur inside

plastics

, they emit too poisonous smells when they are left outside or in the street.

Subsequently

,

this

leads some people to have allergic and other contagious diseases. It can be seen clearly in many parts of African countries,

for instance

.

Nonetheless

, there are several ways to prevent the problem, at least it can be reduced to some point. One of the effective ways to tackle the issue is by increasing taxes on

plastic

production and restricting them to some exact amount that specialists can control and recycle.

This

should be done, of course, by governments.

Secondly

, each person has to be responsible for their action. More precisely, we need to work on our ecological literacy. We might remind our friends, family members, and others how nature is vital for us. Every action must be done carefully

and must be considered the results to the environment. In conclusion, the massive production of

plastics

is affecting to some point both nature and individuals' lives. We should act as soon as possible to save nature and ourselves.
