28th Ambassadorship, Month 2, Report 2 Month: April Free report Topic: Effects of Plastic Pollution Plastic pollution is a serious problem that we are all aware of. Although plastic has its numerous advantages – low cost, ease of manufacture, flexibility, and accessibility – it is becoming increasingly evident that plastic garbage is out of control and wreaking havoc on the environment. It has been found that every year, 12 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the ocean, and microplastics have just been identified deep below the Arctic ice by scientists. In simple words, plastic pollution is irrational use of synthetic plastic items in the environment that causes difficulties for wildlife habitats, ecosystems, and human populations. Let us discuss on how plastic garbage is harming the environment. Plastic pollution keeps the food chain into disarray. This can happen in a variety of ways, but one significant example is animals consuming plastics, which then gets transferred down the food chain and harms the animals' health. Moreover, it has the potential to be harmful to human health. Because we're consuming harmful compounds, plastics seeping into our food supply can have a bad impact on our health. In addition to that, our water supply may be harmed by groundwater pollution. Plastics in our water supplies can produce a slew of dangerous pollutants, which then find their way back into our bodies. Not only humans, Animals are also harmed by it. Plastic can damage or even kill animals, in addition to being toxic to humans. Land animals suffocate in plastic bags, and marine species are frequently caught in nets. Plastic pollutes the land, air, and water. Plastic pollutes the environment in many ways — we've already discussed land and water pollution. The main problem is that clearing areas of plastic waste is time-consuming and costly. The amount of plastic waste in the globe is so large that getting rid of it is extremely difficult and expensive. So, these are some effects of plastic pollution. I would like to hear from you guys about ways to minimize this problem. Thank you!
