write a paragraph on plastic hazards.

Dear Student

Plastic is a non-biodegradable material. They are vary dangerous to living organisms. One of the rarely known hazard of plastics is one of the major concern to the health of the stray animals. You have seen a garbage dump where animals, especially cows, are eating garbage. In the process of eating food from the waste these animals swallow materials like polythene bags and wrappers of food. The plastic material choked the respiratory system of these animals, or formed a lining in their stomachs and can be the cause of their death.   

The harmful effects of using plastic are as follows: 
Plastic is a non biodegradable substance. It causes land pollution and water pollution. 
Burning of plastic also causes air pollution. 
Plastic bags when consumed along with food by animals, cause harm to their life. 
Plastic bags can cause blocking in sewage line.

Plastics are used for shopping, packaging, building constructions, Pipe line constructions, Hospital and medicine management etc. Plastics are cheap and durable. They cannot get damaged easily. They are lightweight, does not rust or rot, easy to transport and reusable. Therefore, they are used in large varieties. 
  
Alternative to plastic bags are many such as paper bags, jute bags and other fabric bags which all are biodegradable and cause no harm to the environment.
