    RESULT AND DISSUSSION


    From the study, we can say that the highest contributor of plastic pollution is from
    food and beverages, which is about 31.4%, and the least contributor is the straws
    that is about 7.27%. Similarly, other factors like Bottle and container caps, Plastic
    bags, Disposable cups and lids, etc. also play a crucial role for the increasing
    plastic pollution. The study reveals the bitter truth that although we all are aware
    about the consequences of plastic pollution; we are not contributing our roles to
    minimize the use of plastics. The study has mentioned about the adverse effects of
    using plastics. Plastic is a major contributor to both land and water pollution. When
    it is not properly disposed of, it can end up in our oceans and rivers, harming
    marine life. It can also end up in landfills, where it takes centuries to decompose.
    Plastics are made from petroleum, which means its production contributes to
    deforestation. The more plastic we use, the more trees are cut down to make way
    for oil drilling and refining facilities.
    Similarly, Plastic production emits greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate
    change. Climate change is a major threat to both humans and wildlife, and it is
    only getting worse as we continue to pump more and more greenhouse gases into
    the atmosphere. Plastic contains harmful chemicals that can leach into food and
    water. These chemicals link to cancer, reproductive problems, and other health
    issues. Moreover, Wildlife is also becoming entangled because of the plastics.
    Animals can also mistake plastic for food and eat it, which can cause blockages in
    their digestive system or even starve them to death. Sea turtles are especially
    vulnerable to plastic pollution, as they often mistake floating plastic for jellyfish
    and eat it. Since, the use of plastics not only harm human lives but also the wildlife
    along with our precious nature so we have to reduce the use of plastics to avoid
    such consequences.
    5. CONCLUSION
    In conclusion, the adverse effects of plastic on the environment are vast and varied.
    They range from the adverse effect on our health to the destruction of our marine
    life. Plastic Pollution is on the rise because nowadays people are using plastic
    endlessly. It is very economical and easily available. Moreover, plastic does not
    dissolve in the land or water, it stays for more than hundred years contributing to
    upraise of plastic pollution. Plastic pollution is affecting the earth in various ways. It
    is polluting our water. This causes a shortage of clean water and thus we cannot have
    enough supply for all. Moreover, it is also ruining our soils and lands. The soil fertility
    is depleting and disease-carrying insects are collecting in landfills of plastic. Most
    people are aware of the problems that plastic can cause for the environment. We
    cannot continue to ignore the problem any longer, and we must take action to
    reduce our reliance on plastic. While many people try to avoid using plastic as
    much as possible, it is still a significant part of our lives. It is used in everything
    from packaging to construction materials. For its reduction, we must avoid
    products with excess or unnecessary plastic packaging and adopt reusable items
    such as water bottles, shopping bags, keep cups and travel cutlery. We should
    avoid single-use plastics such as drinking straws and if you go shopping, remember
    to take a cloth bag rather than using the plastic bags. Hereby, we can start by
    making small changes in our everyday lives. Every little bit helps, and together we
    can make a difference.
