What plastic can do

Plastic is the most important things in modern life of human being. It can be molded into any desired shape. It is cheap as compared to other materials and has more strength. However "Plastic also carries a lot of disadvantages". It is harmful to the environment. It can not be quickly degraded and damages the atmosphere if it is burnt. It can also prevent seeping of water into the soil, and reaching sunlight into water.

We know that plastic is made from oil and natural gas. I means it carries toxic. When animals eat plastic, it gets stuck in their tummy and makes them sick. “Why is that?” Because the bacteria in their stomach can not break up the plastic into smaller pieces. When the plastic is eaten, the chemicals from the plastics work their way into an animal’s tissue and they stay there. The more of these chemicals are eaten by the animal, the more the chemical gets stored in its tissues. That creates a ‘pollutants' toxic effects and it does not stop there. When a second animal eats that first animal, the poison from the first animal move into the new animal’s body. More poisons enter its tissues with each meal. In this way, what had started as trace amounts of a poison will become higher and higher in creatures’ bodies as they move up to “the food chain”. At the beginning, I mentioned before that plastic can be "preventing seeping of water into the soil". It happens because buried plastic in soil can release a toxic chemical which mixes into the ground making it harmful for farming and human use, it can also seep into the ground and mix with groundwater. This makes the water unhealthy for human and the farming use.
