Plastic Pollution - A Cancer in Nature
Plastic Pollution
Plastic is one of the new and worst chemical materials which cause serious environment pollution and is certainly a cancer in nature. Plastic is regarded to be a biological hazard since it is almost non- degradable. Tonnes of Plastic waste are dumped everyday into the earth all over the world. Plastic pollution is destroying the world’s ocean ecosystems as a lot of waste is flushed into the ocean.
Reasons for Plastic Pollution
Plastic is used very commonly in the world because they are cheap, easy to make and they will last long as well. But sorry to say, these useful qualities make plastic a real menace to the environment. As it is so cheap that people discards it soon especially carry bags and disposable bottles. As these materials are longlasting and difficult to decompose, it persists in the earth for many centuries resulting in enormous environment pollution. As a result of urbanization, most of the pollution is concentrated in cities.
Synthetic polymers can easily be moulded into different shapes, while some can be made into thin film like bits and pieces, which became very accepted in form of durable and disposable carrybags and packing materials. These materials when thrown out after use remains in the soil in the same form as it is non-biodegradable.
According to latest studies, up to 105 million tonnes of plastic is produced yearly in the world, out of which only 2.5 million tonnes is produced in India. The use of plastic in western and european countries is averaging 70 kg per person per year, while in India it is 4 kg per person per year. Anyhow its on the rise all over the world.
The amount of plastic waste in the ocean is rapidly growing as well. Close to 85% of objects found in the beaches contains traces of polymers. Most of the rubbish found on the beaches is packaging materials. This is a real threat to the life and habitat of marine wild life especially turtles as well as seabirds. In reality, Plastic pollution is a much bigger threat than ozone hole and global warming.
Ways for prevention
- The best way to protect ourselves from this lethal hazard is to avoid the usage of non-biodegradable carry bags.
- Instead it can be substituted by durable and re-usable jute bags or canvas bags.
- Manufacturing companies should find brown paper or other alternatives for packaging and wrapping cartons.
- Supermarkets should replace plastic bags with paper or jute bags at checkout counters.
Let’s do our part to protect our environment from pollution and thus build a green world for tomorrow.

The Earth has been facing immense pollution from our garbage and consumption. The latest deadly pollution is plastic bags that fill up the landfills. With plastic bags becoming a growing concern, cotton canvas bag has become the new way to help stop the pollution.
With plastic bag pollution being a rising concern, many shoppers need to start using reusable cotton canvas bags in order to stop the pollution.
Plastic bag pollution is very deadly and takes hundreds of years to break down. Even if the component is broken done, the deadly chemicals will go into the ground and water system. By reducing the usage of plastic bag, Earth can recuperate. That's why cotton bags should be used world wide to help reduce the pollution.
It is our generation to stop the pollution and start using cotton canvas bags as the solution. With global warming going out of hand from gas exhaustion, we don't need any more problems especially plastic bags that are harmful when broken down naturally. These broken down elements cause sickness and destruction to the air, soil and water system.
Use cotton canvas bags starting today as a way to stop the plastic pollution that is becoming a major threat to the environment. Our lives are threatened ever more from the growing usage of plastic bags. It is time you bring a canvas bag to shopping the next time you go to a supermarket.

Im doing a project on plastic pollution!
Over 100,000 marine mammals and 1 million sea birds die each year from eating or becoming entangled in plastic that floats on the ocean!
We really need to make a change!
Thankyou for putting your very helpful Information!
what is the simplest way to reuse the plastic? it will cause air pollution while burning.it will make soil pollution when we throw it into soil.There is no proper way to destroy/reuse it.Ordinary people are unaware of the hazards of this plastic.
How do you write all this in Hindi ?
According to latest studies, up to 105 million tonnes of plastic is produced yearly in the world.
your information is very very useful. but what you try to say by these lines_
'out of which only 2.5 million tonnes is produced in India. The use of plastic in western and european countries is averaging 70 kg per person per year, while in India it is 4 kg per person per year. Anyhow its on the rise all over the world.
are you happy to encourage indians to use plastics?
do you try to say
'indians not bad?
you know our big problems are,
we don't care ourselves,
we don't listen trues,
we don't understand 'which is real facts?',
we don't care about future generations.
i think we indians only would be face lot of problems, hazards by plastic
more than any other countries.
Plastic extremely antilife. Any substance which will not degrade is dangerous. It makes people dead bodies.
We must remember that this land is borrowed from our coming generation.
