Today plastic has become the root cause of most environmental problems. And as responsible human beings, we have some responsibilities towards our nature. Plastic dont let nature grow and bags made up of polythene take many years to decompose. Also, they release substances that are not only toxic in nature but also act as a barrier between the earth and the environment. When they are burned they increase air pollution.

Today in this article we will discuss the ill effects of plastic and how we can save our environment by just minimizing the use of bags and daily items made of polythene

So let's get started…

Replace Plastic Bags With Eco-Friendly Bags

As you all know plastic bags have become an essential part of our daily life because they are flexible, water-resistant, durable, lightweight and we can easily carry them without facing any difficulty. But along with these benefits there are many disadvantages of using these carry options. They are not bad for our environment but also contain some harmful chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol-A) which is harmful to our eco-structure as well as the human body. 

Also, these bags are non-biodegradable, they not only pollute the soil but also affect water, land, and air equally. They are the prime threat to human and marine life and this is the reason why we should stop using polythene bags and start using eco-friendly alternatives.  These carrying options are not only good for our environment but also flexible, easy to hold, and multi usable which means we can use these bags again and again. 

Don’t Burn Your Plastic Bags

Never burn plastic bags because polythene waste is very harmful to humans as well as our entire eco-structure. It increases the risk of heart disease,  asthma, nausea, or headache, and damages our nervous system. Also when we burn plastic in the open air it releases black carbon which is responsible for climate change and air pollution

Spread Awareness

Plastic bags are a major threat to our eco structure and human life. So if you want people to minimize their use of plastic by all mean you should take some initiative. And try to spread awareness among those who don't know how the utilization of plastic bags is affecting our environment and killing our eco structure day by day.

Conclusion 

In the nutshell, we can say all we have to understand the ill effects of plastic uses and why it is toxic to our ecology. With unorganized management and improper utilization of this product, our entire ecology is getting affected and damaged. However, we can handle this situation and save our beautiful eco structure. All we need to spread awareness and replace items made of plastic with better and eco-friendly substitutes.
