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?

In

this

modern world, products and goods are being packaged usually via

plastic

bags

and other kinds of

plastic

packages for consumers since

nylon

was discovered and widely used in the packaging industry.

This

way of preserving and covering goods causes several damages to the

environment

and our health. In

this

essay, I will outline the damage that the great masses of

plastic

bags

cause and solutions for

this

.

To begin

, the sacks and bottles made of

nylon

can impact negatively our

environment

.

Firstly

, a study from one of the universities in the USA has proved that it takes more than 100 years for a

plastic

bag which was dumped in the

environment

to be recycled.

Also

, every day, up to 50 tons of waste is disposed of in dumping areas. Ultimately,

this

will pollute our

environment

.

Secondly

, these kinds of packages made of

plastic

have negative effects on our health, apparently, it has been proved that water

that is

kept in

plastic

bottles could be quite poisoning when they are stored and exposed to the sun .

As a result

, it can pose a threat to our health,

such

as a variety of allergies.

However

, the government and individuals have their own responsibility to deal with

this

trend. First and foremost, the government should provide more cycling factories in major cities to cope with

this

issue.

Furthermore

, the recycling infrastructure should be facilitated in order to ease cycling for individuals.

For instance

, by providing specific bins on the streets to encourage people to separate their waste out of

plastic

products.

In addition

, Individuals need to help the government promote recycling by teaching their children to avoid using

nylon

bags

in shopping stores.

Moreover

, some campaigns should be organized in order to encourage more folks to recycle responsibly and avoid littering.

To sum up

,

although

the

plastic

bottles and packaging systems which use

nylon

to package products can cause irreparable damage to our surrounding area, there are some responsibilities that the recycling minister and people are required to take into account to reduce

this

rising trend and its negative consequences. I hope in the near future,

plastic

will be replaced with other kinds of packaging methods,

such

as paper

bags

to preserve our surroundings.
