Question

How do plastics impact animals and the environment?

Answer 1

1. The increase in the use of plastics, particularly the one-time use and throw away plasticshas serious impacts on the environment, animals and our health.
2. We have seen garbage dumps with different plastics. One big problem with plastics is that they do not decompose or biodegrade.
3. This leads to large amounts of waste that will not disappear and end up accumulating and polluting the environment.
4. Many animals confuse plastic for food and eat it by accident. When leftover food is thrown away it is often packed in plastic. Animals smell the leftover food and eat the plastic by accident.
