Solution

Dear student

Plastics are non
-biodegradable. Once introduced into the environment, they take several years to decompose. Plastics add to the environmental pollution. They cannot be burnt as when burnt, they release poisonous gases. Plastic bags thrown in the garbage dump are swallowed by animals like cows. These plastic bags choke their respiratory system and can even prove fatal. Therefore, we should avoid plastics as far as possible.

Methods to limit consumption:
Plastic bags should be replaced by jute or cotton bags
Used plastic should be recycled and reused etc.
