Solution

Plastic has proved to be a boon in various ways. When we go to a hospital, we are able to see plastic vials, bottles, syringes, tubes, and many more articles made of plastic; those which are used to save many lives everyday all around the globe. Plastic is used in the manufacture of thousands of home use articles such as boxes, cases, bottles, containers, tumblers, chairs, tables, and many more.

But it has curse too,

Plastic waste gets accumulated in land fills and causes soil pollution as it is non-biodegradable.
When plastic is burnt, the harmful fumes enter into the aair and has direct effects upon someone who breathes it.
Plastic also finds its way into drains and sewage pipes, clogging them; more often than not, this may lead to water pollution directly and/or indirectly.
Animals sometimes, feed on plastic and die painfully as plastic chokes their digestive and respiratory tracts.
There have also been incidents of little children suffocating while playing with plastic bags and toys.
