Should Plastic Be Completely Banned
Should Plastic Be Completely Banned
===============================
Hi Friends, Myself Ayush Panda and today I am here to debate on “Should plastic be
completely banned?”
To start with, we need to understand plastic; what is plastic? It is a synthetic material
made from a wide range of organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, etc.
Today, Plastic pollution is currently one of the biggest environmental concerns. Plastic
has toxic pollutants that damage the environment and cause land, water, and air
pollution. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years for plastic to break down,
so the damage to the environment is long-lasting.
I strongly support plastic to be completely banned and you know, why? I have multiple
reasons to say so.
Third, Plastic is quite Harmful for Animals and Marine Creatures, you know, Animals
and marine creatures unknowingly consume plastic particles along with their food.
Research shows that waste plastic bags have been a major reason for untimely animal
deaths.
Fourth, Plastic causes Illness in Humans, The production of plastic bags releases toxic
chemicals. These are the main cause of serious illness. The polluted environment is a
major reason for various diseases which are spreading easily in human beings.
Fifth, plastic causes clogged Sewage, Waste plastic bags are the main reason for
trapping the drains and sewers, especially during rains. This can result in a flood-like
situation and disrupt the normal life of people.
Believe me, there are many more situations for which I strongly urge to completely
ban plastic. There are many countries, where single use plastics are banned;
Bangladesh stepped up becoming the first country to ban plastic bags followed by
Kenya and other countries. In my country, single use plastic bags are banned but due
to lack of awareness in people, still people are carrying these bags.
All these specified problems will come to an end, when plastic is completely banned.
