Solution
Plastic is a non-biodegradable material which poses serious threat to the nature. Disposing of plastic waste is the biggest problem we face, post their usage.
Plastic causes soil and water pollution. It also causes air pollution on burning and causes harm to the animals, when not disposed properly.
We can follow the 5Rs-
Reduce- reducing the usage of plastic.
Reuse- reusing used plastic items for other purposes.
Recycle- proper recycling of plastic wastes.
Recover- conversion of plastic wastes into resources such as electricity, heat etc.
Refuse- refuse usage of single-use plastic items etc.
for limiting the consumption of plastic.
