Solution

Plastic in the form of plastic bags are enormously used and thrown as waste materials into the environment. These when disposed off, block the drains and the soil, kills the animals when animals eat them and contaminate the foodstuffs. Hence, they cause harm to the living beings. The other plastic materials like TV cabinets, buckets are not frequently disposed off into the environment like plastic bags and are not as dangerous as plastic bags.
