Plastic: A disaster for nature Part-I

 Plastic: A disaster for nature

Plastic is one of the essential things used by humans in modern times. Many people like plastic because it is lightweight and easy to use. Because it is easy to use, plastics are easily thrown away after use. What kind of negative effects can happen due to disorganized disposal of plastic waste? How can it affect human lifestyles?

      First of all, if we have to talk about plastic, we want to start talking about the people who invented it. About 1907 years ago, Leo Baekeland, a Belgian chemist, started producing plastic. After the development of various scientific fields, in the early 1960s, Sten Gustaf Thulin, a Swedish engineer, was able to invent the crisp bags that we use today. What those people produced are things that have been recorded in history. The production of crisp bags was made so that the public could easily carry their belongings. However, many people value these things only for a short time, and when they throw them away, they don't throw them away properly, which is why we are currently experiencing unwanted negative effects in our world.

      When disposing of plastic waste, many people throw it where they find it without any rules. I don't know what is going on in the minds of the people who threw them out. What a terrible action! Think carefully. Even though it was a simple act for those who disposed them, he didn't think about what would happen through it. Just throwing trash. He will think nothing. That action is a very thoughtless action. You may ask why. If we have to answer, when you recklessly throw such garbage on the side of the road, that garbage can be blown away by the wind and go wherever it wants. Animals might come into contact with the garbage. Sticking to plants and things like that; It can even become environmental pollution after the bad smell is covered in the environment. I don't think the unruly person knows what those things can happen. Here's what a little piece of plastic trash can do. Thus, the acts of unruly throwing plastic waste are common in urban areas. In urban areas, the municipality comes to collect the garbage, but it is easy for them to dump the garbage into the back alleys. Sometimes the municipal garbage can't be picked up, so they throw the garbage wherever they find it, and before long it becomes a huge dump. Very disappointing!! 

      Burning plastic waste is also one of the things that should not be done. How can it be affected? As for how it can be affected, burning those plastic wastes can spread unwanted pungent odors in the environment. People who inhale those smells can get sick. Due to the burning of that plastic, carbon dioxide gas spreads into the air and can harm the living things. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases, humans may face respiratory and disease problems.

      Do not throw plastic waste into the drain. A gutter is something designed to allow water to flow easily. Because garbage is easily thrown into the drains, when it rains, the drains are blocked with garbage and without water flow, the water rises to the streets and many floods occur. As garbage washed from the canals, lakes, river flow into the ocean, small aquatic animals were harmed and their habitats can be destroyed.
