Synthetic fibres and plastics — Science STD 8 — Question

Plastic is non-biodegradable. It takes several years for plastic to decompose and it is not environment friendly. It causes environmental pollution.
Following are the ways to save the environment from excessive plastic wastes:

• We must try to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and recover the use of plastic items. We must develop the habits which are environment friendly.
• We must not throw plastic in the water bodies or on the roads.
• We must take a cotton carry bag or a jute bag while shopping.
• We must try to minimize the use of plastic materials. For example, we must use a steel lunch box or steel containers instead of plastic ones.
