Mr. Plastic- MAJOR THREAT TO ENVIRONMENT
In today's world, what do we see the most?? My answer is garbage. Huge amounts of waste have started piling up. That day is not far when we will be walking on the waste. Ewwwwwww. If we imagine it, it seems gross!! But you will have to get used to it. But but but if you don't want this to happen read all my blogs. Ok now, most of the waste generated is plastic.
Why is plastic harmful?
-The first and major point is that plastic is non-biodegradable. Every single piece of plastic manufactured has remained on this earth.
- Zoologists found that a bird 90 days old died because its stomach was full of plastic. 206 pieces of plastic. Many other migratory birds have swallowed plastic from the water bodies, land etc.
- In India, a large no of cows have died because of swallowing plastic bags. The plastic gets choked in their respiratory system and ultimately they die
- If plastic is burnt, it releases toxic fumes and causes air pollution.
- Many people dispose of plastic in water which causes water pollution and the drainage system and the sewage lines get blocked
- Most of the plastics cannot be recycled (thermosetting). Thermoplastics can be recycled but they are very costly.
Even if plastic is harmful, why do people use it?
- Non-Reactive
- Light, strong and durable
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity
- Inert to chemicals
- Cheap
Plastics are useful materials but still, there is a concern today about their increasing use as the disposal of plastics and be hazardous. If you want to save the environment by taking this little step forward for reducing plastic then do your best and obviously read my blogs to get the best information.
