Environmental Effects Of Plastic Pollution

Plastic Pollution has become a global issue in our oceans. Although we hear about this from time to time the problem has grown tremendously beyond our knowledge. There are a growing number of animals dying each day due to plastic particles that either get stuck around their head, or that they swallow. If we do not stop plastic pollution in our oceans the ocean will eventually lose its habitats and our ecosystem will be changed forever.

In conclusion, it should have been learned that the issue of plastic pollution has become ruinous. The cost of repair and the inconvenience of lifestyle changes cannot compare to the frightful future this planet is headed. At current rates, hazards are not just inflicted on Earth's oceans but individual human health and the other creatures that rightly inhabit this land. With this concern

Every year, millions of tons of plastic are tossed into the ocean, harming all types of marine animals as well as the environment. Hundreds of marine mammals like whales and dolphins are found washed ashore filled with bottle caps, plastic bags and basically anything they can swallow. Not only does plastic pollution harm marine life, but it affects the entire ecosystem. If a predator is dependent on a certain species for prey and the predator has a role in the environment, it is important for the prey to not be disturbed by pollution. If that species of prey were to go extinct, then the predator species could be seriously impacted as a result. These problems warrant the need for more research into the magnitude and causes of plastic

The North Pacific Gyre has a mass amount of plastic pollution which affects animals health, human health, and economy. One example, of animals health being affected was the chicks were dying of starvation, so they were digestion plastic in their stomach. Which resulted the stomach to be swollen and the chicks died. On the other hand, when people burn plastic black smoke is formed. Many people are being exposed to the gases that come out of the burn plastic. The two gases that are linked to cancer are dioxins and furans which affects individuals health. An example of plastic pollution affecting our economy is ruining many tourist destinations. The following tourists destinations that are covered in plastic are the Mediterranean sea bed, the

Plastic and plastic based products have turned the American society into a single use, throw away lifestyle (Eriksen, 154). Due to the introduction of plastic to everyday life, it has become a main source of pollution and liter to the Earth. Whether it is on the side of the road, being collected in large masses such as in landfills, or located in the depths of our oceans, plastic has integrated itself into our environment as well as our society. However, no one environment sees the most impact from plastic pollution than our waterways and oceans. Plastic waste can enter the ocean a multitude of different ways such as through illegal offshore dumping, storm-water drainage, lost fishing equipment, overflowing during high-volume rain events, improper or lack of sewage treatment of water, or simply by blowing off of piers,

The growing plastic problem is becoming an issue, because people introduced plastic to the environment. Plastics often coming from microfibers in clothing, nurdles from plastic snow, and other plastic products being found in the ocean, often in floating islands of plastic trash called gyres. In a study conducted by professor Kenji Miyamoto, in the article “New plastic-eating bacteria has potential to ease world’s trash glut” by Ken Mathiesen has stated that these issues need to be worked on, million of tons of suffocating debre show in our oceans every year coming in the realization of one-third of all plastics end up invading the environment. Showing these numbers show some realistic effect of how a total of rubbish ends up in our environment,

Plastic pollution is something that has plagued the world for decades, but no one has been able to figure out a viable solution for it, until now. Chãoyùe ping has a solution that first starts out locally, then globally. We are going to create youth groups using fundraisers, and send them out to China to clean beach shores of all of the filth created by big name companies who care nothing of their impact on the environment. The youth groups will also travel by boat out to China’s oceans and drag massive nets through the water to capture as much trash as possible. Many say that Chãoyùe ping can’t complete such a strenuous task, but we know we can. With the help of the community, and the goal to have a better tomorrow for everyone we can achieve any task. Plastic Pollution can be reduced drastically, but the only way we can do that is by we holding those accountable for their contribution to destroying our environment, and getting together as a community and cleaning up our beaches.

Moore found a big problem about how plastic is turning our oceans into plastic. Not many people pay attention to this kind of problem because it's not talk about it a lot. But Moore saw nine years ago about the big problem about plastic and how it hurting out sea animals and us as well. By bringing this problem into our eyes we can now see where all of the plastic we throw away goes too the effects of it.

The article write by John H. Tibbetts is focused how to control marine plastic pollution by coming up with a better waste management plan. Tibbetts says, plastic pollution is increased because of the development and its demand of use. He says, by two housed twenty five the debris of plastic pollution will be double. Plastics are a lightweight they are able transfer into long distances, different locations by winds and rainstroms. Therefore, the author suggested that plastic materials must secure when handle, so they don’t go through the drains and washed to the sea. The author say development and poor waste management are the greater factors for marine plastic pollution

By just a simple walk on any beach, anywhere, and people could see plastic or garbage waste. Many people may think this issue does not affect them but, it affects everyone and more sadly enough sea animals. Too many people plastic is a modern-day thing that they must have because it is cheap to produce and durable. For others plastic is the cause of great trouble and suffering because, “the world uses more than 100 million tons of plastic annually but recycles less than 5 percent of it” (Kiener). Many people only focus on the benefits of plastic but, besides the benefits do not be foolish; think beyond satisfying material needs. Plastic bags, water bottles, and many more other waste end up in the oceans and along shorelines. Plastic litter clogs sewer systems causing deadly floods, chokes sea animals, and contaminates fish with toxic chemicals that can develop endangering humans who eat the fish. (Kiener)

Plastic pollution affects every waterway, sea and ocean in the world. When we damage our water

This research question aims to think deeper on the circumstances of the overuse of plastic and paper, and what could happen more to the animals/birds, our environment, and our bodies if consumers keep on using plastic and paper products. This research question should be asked to raise awareness to users and most importantly designers, so they consider using other eco friendly material in designing their products.

Our world is rapidly being contaminated by heaping amounts of plastic. A major contributor to this plastic waste can be pinpointed to the average person asking the cashier for a plastic bag to hold their purchases, whether it is made at a clothing store or grocery store. According to the article, “Plastic Bag Pollution,” by Sharon Jacobsen, five-hundred billion plastic bags are currently being used around the world and about one-hundred billion plastic bags are being used primarily by the United States. With all this plastic, does it stay in the same place, where is it going? In the article, “Plastic Pollution in the World’s Oceans: More Than 5 Trillion Plastic Pieces Weighting over 250,000 Tons Afloat at Sea,” the authors state that

The human population has led to the accumulation of huge amounts of non-degradable waste materials across our planet. The problem of environmental pollution was caused by indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste has assumed global proportions. They are used in almost all industries, especially for packaging and they account for more than 50% of total consumption, especially they are used for bottling and baling. They

As we all know that nowadays garbage is to much, we can find them very easy; it can be find in the shore, river, air, and also in the oceans. The problem of garbage in this world is causes by producing of goods from the company to all people around the world and to package their product, the company uses plastics. In the other hand, the lack of the awareness of people also support the environmental damage. The use of plastic as the package and production material should be stopped or at least reduced because of the amount of plastic waste that always increase in every year and it caused the damaging of the environment.
