World Environment Day: The law has been made, but when will the use of single use plastic stop – world environment day 2023: how single use plastic harmful for human life

New Delhi: We all talk big about June 5 i.e. World Environment Day 2023, but how many people take it seriously. Same is the case with single use plastic. It has become a law, it was also banned, but even today it is being used indiscriminately. When plastic was made in the year 1907, it spread rapidly all over the world. Now it has become an equally big challenge to cover it. You will easily see single use plastic in your home. This banned plastic is being used around the house, in shops, in the markets without any hindrance.

Last year, there was a ban on making, selling and using single-use plastic items. This ban means that the ban on making, importing, storing, distributing these things has not yet been implemented on the ground. The plastic which was once considered a miraculous thing, today it has become a big threat to our environment. Its synthetic polymers last for years. This plastic provided cheap and convenient thing to the people. There is plastic from our pocket to the kitchen of the house, but this plastic is poison for the environment. It takes hundreds of years for this plastic to completely break down.

These toxic plastic chemicals are dangerous for humans and animals. It is so poisonous that it remains in the soil for years as it is. Along with spoiling the quality of soil, contaminating the water, they are becoming a big threat to human life. From the waste of our homes to the dustbin of the neighborhood, single use plastic is the most in the waste. This waste flows through the drains and reaches the rivers and the sea. Which is causing great harm to the environment. The work of disposal of these wastes is being done by spending crores, but this single use plastic is slowly becoming a big threat.
