Plastic waste is the waste produced by the plastic after its usage. The plastic waste has reached in very higher amounts nowadays. Putting their needs and uses aside, it is very important to save our mother earth from the plastic waste.
Now a days, it has become the most prominent problem in the whole world. It is not an individual problem but it is the whole nation’s problem. Here and there we can see the plastic covers, plastic glasses, plastic wrappers etc. are seen on the road sides. It is very important to not throw them on the roadside because some of the animals consume the plastic instead of the food they are eating. And it has become the threat to their lives. To reduce the uses of plastic and to see your mother that there are some alternatives,
1. We can use Jute bags instead of the plastic bags which create harm to the nature. The Jute bags are eco-friendly and are easily degradable. Using jute bags helps us to reduce the uses of plastic bags to some extent. The use of plastic is reduced to some extent with jute bags.
2. Plastic glasses can be replaced by the paper glasses. Nowadays we can see the portable paper glasses which are highly recommended as they are eco-friendly and easy degradable.
3. We can replace plastic bottles by the copper bottles or some other bottles. The use of plastic bottles are very high, so we can replace the plastic bottles with the alternatives.
In one or the other way, we must try to reduce the use of plastic to some extent. It’s very important to be responsible towards our Mother Earth. It’s not one’s problem, rather it is nation’s problem. So, one must try to reduce the use of plastic and must motivate others to reduce the usage.

First a fall what is plastic? Plastic is a man made material which cannot be decomposed as it is not a natural substance. Plastic is invented to make the normal life easy plastic is basically introduced as the container to every single household stuff that we buy in day to day life. As it cannot be decomposed, it takes millions of year to decompose into soil and people are using plastic in a huge amount and they are decomposing plastic in every new place which is getting polluted because of the plastic waste thrown there. And where there is demand of plastic the production of plastic is also growing in a huge amount which is a really serious thing.
Problems because of plastic waste.
1)Because formation of a layer of classic into the soil the rain water is not able to reach the level of the groundwater water because of which the level of groundwater is decreasing very rapidly.
2) Daily so many animals die not only on the land but into the sea also because of eating plastic or may be getting trapped into plastic. Because people are throwing plastic out and innocent animals who don’t know what to eat and what not to eat they eat plastic without knowing that it’s dangerous and into the sea people are composing tons of plastic because of which the aquatic life is in danger because they also get trapped into it and die because of suffucation.
3) Humans are also getting affected due to the increase of plastic waste there are many people out there who think that burning plastic is effective way to destroy it or decompose it but they don’t know that the dangerous gases that releases during the process of burning of plastic, it can cause severe respiratory chronic disease to humans as well and also gives a tremendous increase in to the global warming and air pollution.
Ways to reduce plastic waste and the effects of plastic pollution.
1) Spread awareness around you to people who are using classic in a very large amount or who are using wrong ways to decompose plastic like not showing it into the right place aur buying polythenes or buying plastic staff to save money, etc.
2) use paper bags jute bags or the eco friendly bags instead of plastic polythene and insisted of plastic containers use paper plate Steel or glass utensils. Now a days many people are introducing eco friendly replacements for plastic, so put some efforts, spread awareness about those products.
3) Always decompose plastic in the right container as government has already separated the biodegradable and nonbiodegradable waste which are decomposed by using proper methods which causes minimum harm to our earth. So support and follow all government rules and policies.
