            “Plastic” is a material which contains as an essential component a high polymer and which at some stage in its processing into finished products can be shaped by flow. In simple language, plastic is the hazardous substance in environment which is produced manually and known like polyester or polystyrene. It was founded in 1930s and also been used in World War 2. Most of the weapons used in the war included with plastics. To increase the production and grow business, plastic now included in almost all the stuffs. Today, in the fastest life of human beings prefers most of the “use & throw” things. These things are cheap in cost & to make their cost cheap they have use ingredients which are cheap and plastic is the cheapest to make such use & throw things.

             

  Even in day to day life of humans, plastics had occupied almost every place. The cloths humans are wearing of polyesters or nylon or jeans or any stretchable cloth for their comfort contains plastics which can causes diseases like skin cancer. The hell amount of using plastic bags is most harmful for nature. Not just with the perspective of environment it is harmful for the animals like cows, dogs, sheep because when they eat the stuff in the plastic bag, they don’t understand that they eat it with whole plastic and it causes various diseases. The ability of cows to give milk is decreasing day by day. Sometimes after ingestion it may clog in their intestines which result in their deaths by starvation. The waste includes 78% of plastics which is thrown in the oceans which results in almost 8 million metric tons of plastics entering in oceans. This situation is very ridiculous for marine life. By the statistical data, almost 100,000 marine lives died per year and 1 plastic bag can kill 100 dolphins in the ocean. It is harmful because degradation of plastic is impossible, it almost take 1000 years. Recycling is not good option on that because it can’t be used after 2 times. Even the space is not read through this crisis. The ground reality is many animals are killed to make plastic bags slippery.
