Plastic pollution

Answer 1

Plastic pollution is the build-up of plastic waste in the environment. Plastics are non-biodegradable, so they remain for a long time and can pollute land and water. Plastic bags can block drains, while plastic waste in water can harm aquatic organisms. Burning plastic can release harmful gases. We can help reduce plastic pollution by refusing unnecessary single-use plastics, using reusable bags and containers, separating waste and sending plastics for recycling. These actions reduce plastic waste and help keep the environment clean.
