The environment refers to all the living and non- living things that surround us in the natural world. These things live in equilibrium with each other called the Ecological Balance. This ecological balance is disturbed due to numerous anthropogenic activities, one of the most harmful being the use of plastics. Ever since the use of plastic became popular in the 1960s, it has been used in polyethylene bags (grocery bags), clothes, bottles and the packaging material. An accumulation of these compounds on planet Earth is leading to plastic pollution. While all kinds of pollutions are toxic for the environment, plastic pollution is specifically hazardous because of the chemical structure of plastic which hinders its quick decomposition making it last for thousands of years on Earth. While it is evident from the chemical structure of plastic that it is extremely toxic and causes numerous environmental problems, some people choose to ignore this crisis. Scientists have been alerting the public for many years about the climate change, but there is a large portion of people and institutions that does not believe in climate change. According to a report by Center for International Environmental Law “The plastic and petrochemical industries’ plans to expand plastic production threaten to exacerbate plastic’s climate impacts and could make limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C impossible” (CIEL, 2019). Thus, plastic is lethal to the environment. Plastic bags are made of additives that contain heavy metals. When they burn, they come in contact with the atmosphere and produce compounds like chlorides which damage the ozone layer. The polythene bags are a single-use product and are discarded quickly after use. Thousands of tons of this waste are dumped in the oceans every year, polluting the marine habitat. They are swallowed by marine animals like sea turtles and fish resulting in their deaths. Moreover the particles of plastics remain in the bodies of animals even after their death and are consumed by humans, causing a disturbance in the food chain. Plastic being dumped into landfills results in the release of toxic chemicals from the plastic into the soil and make it less fertile. These chemicals seep underground and are taken up by plants from the soil which retards their growth. They also penetrate into the aqueducts and streams through the soil resulting in water contamination. All of these environmental problems directly affect humans in every way. There are a number of ways to reduce the use of plastic. Some people are using cotton totes instead of plastic bags as a replacement. Unlike plastic, cotton degenerates quickly, but the insecticides used in the production of cotton are extremely harmful to the environment. They run off into the streams causing water pollution. Thus, better alternatives are paper or organic cotton bags which can be reused. Moreover, designers need to make an environmentally conscious choice while making clothes. ‘Fast Fashion’ refers to the mass production of trendy clothes. These clothes are made of cheap synthetic fibers like polyester that decay slowly and become a part of the landfills. According to International Union for Conservation of Nature, Laundering of clothes made of polyester results in 35% of non –biodegradable micro-plastics in the oceans (IUCN, 2017). Many countries are now taking immediate steps to remove plastic from Earth but what matters the most in such critical situations is the individual effort by every person. Every industry be it textile, fertilizer or chemical, needs to take responsibility of the environment. We need to be more mindful of the state of our planet and sacrifice our self-serving needs to give a better future to our generations.
