Beat Plastic Pollution

Plastic pollution is a major global problem, as the world produces 380 million tons of plastic each year that ends up polluting the environment. Developing nations struggle the most with plastic waste due to inadequate waste management systems. While burning plastic reduces landfill waste, it releases toxic fumes. Reusing, recycling, and reducing plastic consumption are the most effective ways to curb plastic pollution and protect the environment. The speaker outlines alarming statistics showing how much plastic production and pollution has increased drastically in recent decades and its severe impacts on wildlife. Six easy steps are suggested to help beat plastic pollution, such as bringing reusable water bottles and coffee cups, recycling, choosing recycled products, cleaning up plastic waste while walking, and leaving no trace.

BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION(SPEECH)

Good morning to everyone present here.

I am Abhisekh and today I am provided this golden opportunity to speak about


the topic “Beat Plastic Pollution”

Plastic pollution is the collection of plastic in the environment, which adversely


affects ecosystems and wildlife. The developing Asian and African countries are
where plastic pollution is the most visible as the garbage collection systems are
non-existent or not very efficient. Every year the world produces 380 million tons
of plastic entering the surroundings eventually, which may end up as pollutants.
Even though the burning of plastic reduces the amount of trash being dumped
into the oceans and lands, it still generates toxic fumes, which also contribute to
greenhouse gases. Plastics and plastic products are present everywhere. These
products are approximately used only once before they end up as wastes. Plastic
is an epidemic and does not have any particular solution to its pollution. 10% of
the total waste that we generate is plastic. Reusing, recycling, and reducing
plastic waste are the most efficient ways to protect from plastic pollution.

Now I will share some points which will give us a proper idea about how much
plastic pollution has spread all over the world and how dreadful it is…

1. In the last 15 years, almost 50% of all the plastics that were ever produced
since mankind has been manufactured.
2. From 2.3 million tons in the year 1950, the production rate exponentially
increased to 448 million tons by 2015.
3. By the year 2050, the production of plastic is expected to be doubled.
4. Plastic is around 73% of the beach litter worldwide.
5. Each year an average person eats 70000 microplastics.
6. Every year nearly 1.1 million birds and animals are being killed by plastic.
7. It is illegal to use plastic in a few parts of the world.
8. 2 million plastic bags are used every day worldwide.
9. There are a few types of plastics that are not recyclable.
10. More than 5 trillion pieces of plastic are floating in the oceans.

Here are some 6 easy ways where we can start beating plastic pollution and if
every child every adult follows these steps it will be a great change.
 Bring your own bottle. One million single-use plastic drinking bottles are
bought every minute.
 Ditch those single-use coffee cups.
 Recycle.
 Wear recycled.
 Go Plogging.
 Leave only footprints.

Thank You
