Plastic Pollution In India

             "Break Free From Plastic : Our Planet's Lifeline Depends On It."

    Plastic, The wonder material we use for anything that pollutes our atmosphere,is probably the most.destructive waste desposited in the sa by sailors and sea-gores because it dose not break down easily. The plastic that goes in the river today might still be around to ruin the fishing gear,ship propellers,and beaches for future generations.

               Plastic has very seriously impacted the health and life of human being in the last decade. Several events have drawn the attention of the whole word and placed a question mark on the use of plastic in everyday life.

                Plastic is Non-degradable material,it does not completely mix up with the natural elements unlike degradable material like Food,Clothes,Paper etc. Hence,it persists in nature for longer time than other materials. India generates around 9 millon Tons of Plastic waste annually. It is so sad to know that 40% of the total waste generated is not even collected from the source. Most of the plastic waste generated is single-use plastic which is discarded by people with minimal use of it. 

                 Plastic can be broadly divided into Microplastics and Macroplastics. Microplastics are smaller in particle size with less than five millimeters. They include microbeads that are used in making cosmetics,personal hygiene products, industries, and microfibers which are used for sanitation. On the other hand,macroplastics are particles with more than five millimeters. Comparatively,microplastics cause more damage as they are easily transferred from one trophic level to another trophic level.

                According to the Central Pollution Control Board in India , we generate around 26,000 tons of all types of plastics every day and half of it is not even collected from the source.They choke the drains,get eaten by animals ,enter the water resources and pollute the enviroment .On average, every Indian consumes 11kgs of plastic every year. Though it is 10 times less than the USA, as India has more polution,we seem to generate a lot of waste comparatively.

             Careless   plastic   handling   can   have   dire   repercussions.  For   an  indiscriminate  feeder   like   the   sea  turtle,  a  plastic   bag   seems like  a   delicious   jellyfish,  but   plastic   is   indigestible.   It   can   choke,  block   the   intestines   of   those  animals  that   eat  it  or   cause   infection. 

               More and more plastic is collected in our cceans everyday. Recreational boater are not the only party to dispose of plastic refuse at the sea improperly. Through waste outfills, merchant shipping , commercial fishing activitie,and beachgoers, plastics are also entering the marine environment.

             It is very flexible in the middle stage and  depending on temperature and pressure, any shape can be provided, urea, formaldehyde, polyethene, polystyrene, polycythylcholide,phenolic compounds and other substances are used.

           The most widespread plastic contamination nowadays is caused by polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C). The soluble chemical is eventually dissolved in them when any food substance or blood is deposied in the aforementioned plastic containers, causing death due to Cancer and other skin diseases.

           The fertility of animals and their respiratory systems have also been found to be destroyed by polyvinyl chloride. It causes paralysis when combined with water and also affects bones and causes skin irritation.

          Here are several steps we should take to reverse the tide of harmful, Non-biodegradable waste so that our world will not be overtaken by it.

•    Use of paper, canvas, and other healthy-fiber containers, placed produce.

•  Using bags of wax paper, cloth napkins, or reuseable sandwich boxes(e.g.     tiffins, described below). 

•  Using bottles or cans of glass only.

            We need to acknowledge that we only have one planet ,which we are supposed to pass down to our foture gernerations. It is our responsibility to keep it safe and clean.

          Our world can no longer accept throw-away plastic as a society. Our landfills are being filled up with single-use plastics, chocking our waterways, and contaminating our oceans. Corporations have been blaming our us all for far too long to deal with their own failed design problem.We have been advised that citizens should simply recycle the billions of tons of output from plastic companies and that it will make the required difference to sustain our world.

         We were told a lie.

         There is no recycling of over 90% of plastics. Recycling alone will simply never solve this problem. A radical change in how they deliver goods to people must be faced with the size of the problem companies have developed. It is up to all of us to demand more , to tell these industrial companies that the plastics they impose on us will no longer be accepted.Our planet deserves better and if they fail to adapt, we don't need their goods.

          For a lifetime, nothing that is used for a few mintues should end up polluting our oceans. It's time for us to denounce the old corporate story that we are content with a throw-away lifestyle and build a better future. 

      10 Lines For Plastic 

          1. Plastic is a synthetic substance that is Non-bio-degradable.

          2.  We use it indiscriminately in almost all day-to-day products.

          3.  Environmental contamination comes from plastic accumulation.

          4.  Land, rivers and oceans are plagued by it's accumulation.

         5.  It releases poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxide upon burning.

         6.  It also contributes to the loss of marine life and wildlife.

         7.  We ought to use biogradable materials instead of Plastic.

         8.  It is compulsory to use advanced incinerators for succesful waste disposal.

         9.  In the soil, chlorinated plastics emit harmful chemicals that seep into the groundwater and damage us.

         10.  If we want to preserve Mother Earth, we should stop using plastic and use only natural biogradable materials.  

In My Opinion, 

          "Plastic Is a Most Destructive Weapon Than A Nuclear Bomb Or An Atom Bomb, Its Impact Shall Remain For Centuries On The Future Generation."
