Plastic: A disaster that invades the world earth pollution Plastic: A disaster that invades the world

Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic products in the environment that affects wildlife habitat or humans. Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans. Living organisms, particularly marine animals, can be harmed either by mechanical effects, such as entanglement in plastic objects or problems related to ingestion of plastic waste, or through exposure to chemicals within plastics that interfere with their physiology. Giant Dead Whale

Reduction efforts Efforts to reduce the use of plastics and to promote plastic recycling have occurred. Some supermarkets charge their customers for plastic bags, and in some places more efficient reusable or biodegradable materials are being used in place of plastics. Some communities and businesses have put a ban on some commonly used plastic items, such as bottled water and plastic bags

Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles Scientists have created a mutant enzyme that breaks down plastic drinks bottles – by accident. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.

We wish in a future without pollution Thanks for your attention… Domenico Rondinella II B
