Plastic is everywhere. Human beings use it for their comfort, not thinking about the earth that's getting affected. We need to be aware of this and stop using excessive plastic in our homes and our daily lives. 

WHAT IS PLASTIC POLLUTION? Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles in the Earth's environment that adversely affects humans, wildlife and their habitat. 

EFFECT

• The main problem with using plastic is that it is not biodegradable. So many tonnes of plastics end up in the water bodies and affect aquatic life. 
• Plastic pollution is affecting every living being in this world. Be it animals, plants, or humans themselves. 

HOW CAN WE PREVENT IT?

90% of the plastic items in our daily lives are used once and then thrown: grocery bags, plastic wraps, disposable cutlery, straws, and coffee-cup lids. So, we should stop using these disposable plastics and switch to metal/steel objects like metal cutlery, steel straws, etc. Also, we should always take our own cloth bags when shopping for vegetables and fruits as the vendors sell them in polythenes which are very harmful.

We should also recycle plastic products that have no use. For example, we can use plastic bottles and turn them into planters and grow more plants to help the environment. 

We should shop in bulk as it is where you do one very big shop and pick up all the essentials you need, rather than buying smaller amounts of ingredients on a regular basis. Not only can you save money by choosing to shop this way, but you also use a lot less packaging and single-use plastics.

So we should try to take small steps toward making the earth a cleaner place and contributing a little towards the environment for our own good.
