Harmful Aspects of Plastic Use
Plastic harm us in many ways.Plastic damages our land, water and animals.Now discuss these issues below.
Land Damage
Uncontrolled use of plastic is polluting the ground in many ways. We use about 50 percent of the amount of plastic used in daily life to throw it out. That means we have become accustomed to using uninterrupted plastic without considering any kind of use of plastic. When we put polythene on the ground, it does not mix with the soil. As a result, when we cultivate, production is wasted. And the quality of the land gets ruined every day. As a result, we are being financially affected. About one-25th of the production of crop are lost due to polythene. Which is really very sad.
Water Damage
There are more than 35 million tons of plastic pollution worldwide every year and most of it is the end destination of water. Sea scientist Sheri Lippiat says, "We are throwing two pounds of plastic in the sea against every 1 pound tuna fish from the sea. The senior policy officer of the European Environment Bureau, Carsten Wachhard says, the main items on the coast are garbage, which are plastic bottles, straw and hygiene products.
This is a big problem, because the marine creatures and birds have swallowed the plastic; Which are killing them gradually Ocean Conservation says they have found plastic presence in more than 60 percent of all types of marine birds and 100 percent of marine turtle species.
