This was the theme of World Environment Day and India was the host country. Plastic pollution is 'the massive accumulation of plastic products that have an adverse effect on each and every component of the environment. From trees to human beings, wild animals to small insects – all are the components of this environment. The careless and frivolous usage of plastic affects our life somewhere.
Plastic is really cheap and durable and these are the two factors that make it one of the most used material. The way plastic has made a place in every sphere of our living, it is really hard to think of a plastic-less life. From grocery to wedding arrangements – you would see a huge usage of plastic in various forms. As per a report shared by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), our India is one the biggest plastic polluters in the world. At least 40% plastic consumption of Indian population ends up either in landfills or water bodies. Thus, given the current statistics of plastic pollution, we have to wake up now and take sustainable actions before its too late!
