Solution

Plastic is dangerous for the environment. The excessive use of plastic generates great quantities of solid waste, which takes millions of years to degrade. Burning plastic waste produces harmful gases and a foul smell. Plastic bags can choke drains, and if eaten by animals, the animals may choke to death.
