How do plastic bags harm the environment?
Plastic bags
have led to negative impacts on: animals, plants, and the environment.
Decomposed
Plastics → Comes out as“plastic dust" → Contaminates animal life,
the soil and water (including oceans and seas).
Animals
- Animals likely mistake plastic bags as food. When they ingest plastic bags, it obstructs their digestive systems and they eventually die.
- Meanwhile, Birds become trapped in plastic bags and marine animals also entangled in them and suffocate or starve to death.
- After animals die, their bodies decompose and the plastic is released back into the environment again, which is a vicious circle of killing other living organisms again.
Plants
- When plastic bags are littered, plant life on land is smothered and killed.
- In the ocean, plastic bags mostly sink to the bottom, which smothers marine plant life and kills them.
Thus, when the number of animals and plants has decreased to a certain number, it interrupts the food chain and eventually, the ecosystem.
