Humans invented new materials, which was previously unknown such as plastics.
Plastic bags, Straws,
Plastic bottles, Plastic Wrappers are just a bit of plastics we used for everyday needs. We used it for just a shorter time but the toxic it contains will last for about thousands of years. It will start to degrade for about 700 years. Yet it will not turn to other substance for the nature to absorbed it. It also contains toxics such ss benzene and vinyl hydrocloride that can affect not just our health as a human person but the enviroment itself. As it reaches landfills (geosphere) tge toxics of plastics will be absorb by the soil causing it to be polluted. Plastics also can be found in water bodies (hydrosphere) making oceans, lakes, rivers and sea to be toxic or the pollution of water. Not just in land and ocean, toxics of plastics in production can also contaminate our air (atmosphere) According to the report, in 2019, plastic will contribute greenhouse gases in the equivalent of 850 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. As a result of polluted air, ocean and lands, not just humans, plants and animals living in land will be affected but also those innocent marine mammals, that mistake plastics for food and indigest it causes them to die.
It is not easy to stop the Plastic Production, yet we must help even just a simply recycling your plastic bags or bringing an eco bags. Less demands, Less Production.
