Reduce the use of plastic

We all know that plastic is defined as a material that contains an essential ingredient an
organic substance of large molecular weight. It is also defined as polymers of long carbon chains
that produced long chain molecules. So, why we should reduce the use of plastic? How can we
reduce the plastic? And, what are the ways to reduce the plastic?

We all know that plastic is everywhere nowadays. Like we see it anywhere and with
anyone who’s thirsty, they will buy a bottle of water or anything in the bottle that will provide
there thirstiness. We need to reduce the use of plastic. Because reducing the plastic can prevent
the pollution by lessening the amount of new raw materials that was already used and it will also
contribute towards our climate change. If the plastic does not dissolve, it remains in the water
thereby hampering its purity. If the plastic remain in the water it will affect our clean water, by
this we won’t be left by clean water for the coming years and it will also pollutes our land. So, if
the people or human being keep on destroying or keep throwing anywhere a dump plastic waste
it will damage our soil because we cannot dissolve the plastic in land or water, it remains
forever. So, by then, we can reduce the plastic by cutting back single-use plastics, choosing to
reuse and recycle the plastic bottles or learn how to properly dispose or recycle the used products
and reduce consumer waste. We should learned how to say “NO” o disposed plastic cutlery,
plastic straws and other single-use plastic, we should avoid plastics that cannot be recycled if
other alternatives exist, avoid product with excess packaging and adopt reusable items such as
bottle of water, shopping bags, cups and other used plastics. Bring your own shopping bag when
you go shopping or buying your essential need and groceries, we need to be more useful,
bringing our own environmental bag is good environmental advice to other shoppers that need to
be implemented in our country to encourage shoppers to do it. Government should ban the
shopping bags because it has harmful effects in our environment. Stop buying bottled water or
other drinks in the bottle, there are some contaminated plastic bottle so; instead of buying bottled
water why not keep a refillable bottle handy? Bring your own tumbler or thermos. And speaking
of refillable bottle, bringing our own thermos or tumbler is another way to reduce the plastic
footprint. Say no to straws, get the plastic off your face, we should skip the disposable razor and
Re-think our food storage-plastic baggies, plastic wrap, and plastic storage containers are worth
re-evaluating. Instead of sandwich baggies, why not pack a bento box for lunch? Instead of a
throwing away a zip lock why not using a jar or glass containers in the fridge? In short instead of
using the disposable one, why not used the useful one that are not contaminated and
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY.
