Is it necessary to ban Plastic globally?

in Steem Sri Lanka2 years ago

Today, plastic is a major cause of environmental pollution. Plastic as a material is non-biodegradable. Therefore, plastic remains in the environment for hundreds of years polluting it immensely. Therefore, it is essential to ban plastic before they fully destroy our country. The majority of countries in the world have either banned or taxed plastic. Anyway, the problem has not been solved completely, because the implementation of these measures hasn’t been as successful.

Let’s analyze the environmental issues that plastic currently have. The biggest negative effect of plastic is that it cannot decompose. Therefore, getting rid of plastic is the most challenging process. Plastics have also taken over as the primary source of modern land pollution. Another reason for the entering of plastics into water bodies is the major course of water pollution.

Animals and marine creatures unknowingly eat plastic along with their food. According to research, plastic from waste was the cause of animal deaths.

The production of plastic releases a toxic chemical. So, these are the main cause of serious illness. A polluted environment is a major reason for various diseases which are spreading easily in human beings.

Not only that the waste plastic is the main reason for trapping the drain and sewers. This resulting flooding disrupts our normal life of the people.

Many people still keep plastic in their pockets despite the government's ban on its use. Shop owners only abide by the rules for the first few days. In my view, the government ought to enforce the laws strictly and create a suitable replacement. Now, each of us must contribute in order to make this prohibition a success. As educated citizens, it is our responsibility to stop using plastic bags. In this way, we may help the government enforce a ban.

Thanks for reading my article. Have a nice weekend.

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.

Thanks a lot.

So true!

Thanks for reading my post and for your lovely feedback.

there are many ways to handle plastic and polyethene. There is no proper way in here to recycle them. even we can make eco bricks instead of directly releasing them to the environment.

Nobody is giving the people the necessary advice, and neither is the government doing anything to provide it.

Valuable point.. we can't completely ban plastic yet, there's no alternate. Best thing is to reduce imo.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and comment.
