Plastic Pollution

tensile has been the common materials that is being used on a daily basis. Many objects that made from malleable that can be seen from eitherday such as food containers, moldable bag, storage and so some(prenominal) an(prenominal) things that even a homosexual being can non think of it. Plastics existence has only just for over a blow but because of the versatility of the materials tractiles has a significantly increase in their use into whole varieties of everyday invigoration. Further more than, the physical characteristic of malleable itself that be high resistance, durable, tawdry and lightweight makes it suitable for production of a wide range of products kinsfolk (Derraik, 2002).Basically flexibles are synthetic organic polymers that are made from various chemical substance elements that mostly come from natural resources such as crude oil, plash and coal(Derraik, 2002). The lancinate materials of pliables were formed from ancient plants and animals hundreds of millions years ago. Therefore those raw materials are non-renewable resources that explained when those resources would not be re speckled for a short period of time. As legion(predicate) community use charge plate everyday, it give take a more time to break down and as a result the plastic dust litter everyplace and become plastic pollution.As plastic is buoyant, it good blows from garbage dumps or even flows through and through river that eventually moves through the sea. According to Australian Marine Conservation Society (2013b), when plastics are in the ocean, it will slowly breaks down in to smaller pieces and being finishen by animals that live at the bottom or even to the birds that flies and eat the be adrift plastic detritus. Causes Plastic pollution is the purlieual problem that has been the append that discussed by many people because of many causes occurred because of this problem.First, many people or even businesses gain profit from utilise plastics bec ause of its characteristics that is hard to be substituted with early(a) materials. As menti geniusd before plastic is non-renewable resource and need a extensive period of time to break down, however people use plastic for mostly everything surrounds them. So it will make availability of the natural resources for raw materials of the plastics decreases significantly and can be resulted a scarcity of resources. Other causes that happened because of plastic pollution is the oceanic disembodied spirit being threaten of the big add of plastic that dumps in the ocean.In fact in Australia, AMCS found that 90% of devil dog rubble on Sydneys b separatelyes is plastic, mostly bottles and straws. And also it emphasizes that Australians somewhat buy 600 millions litres of bottled water a year and uses 10 million of plastic bags a day (2013b). Hence, large amounts of plastic are being produced each day and when it becomes litter, plastic can endanger the health of animals and sea life . in one case the plastic debris are eaten, plastics are not provide proportional nutrition through the ingestion of the plastic inside the animals body and will result irritation of stomach that lead to death (Moore, 2008).High concentration of floating debris in the ocean brings potential threat to the marine life particularly to sea mammals and seabirds. As seabirds seek food from the ocean, when appears floating debris they might eat mistakenly or starvation that lead them to spend plastic and for certain period of time can endanger to the health of the birds (Edyvane K. S, 2004). According to AMCS, there are around one million seabirds and one hundred thousands marine mammals are killed every year because of plastics throughout the world.They analysed it by checking what inside the animals body and found out that, many of plastic debris cannot be ingested that killed those unfortunate animals. Furthermore plastic debris such as medical waste, plastic diapers and sanitary was te sometimes also can be seen on the beach that might strike to a everyday health hazard (Moore, 2008). The reason that plastic debris all over the beaches is because lack of responsibility of visitor to appropriately give the rubbish to the bin. Many of people think that plastic is easy to be carried but they are not aware about(predicate) the reach of using plastic too much.Solutions There are many potential solutions for the plastic pollution. As plastic is non-renewable resources and alter to the environment during its production and disposal work as well, so the only best way to recover it is subordinate the use and the production of plastics. Even though plastics cannot be replaced with any early(a) substitute, however, it is possible to change the raw materials that can be recycled and break down. For instance, many plastic bags for supermarket already change to degradable plastic, which is more environmental friendly.Another solution that are still being developed f or reducing plastic pollution for marine life is Container Deposit arrangement that tackle and friend take plastic off the plate for marine life (2013a). As can be seen actually there are a lot of bins provided in every corner of the street in Australia, but it still will not work because sometimes people do not care about to separate their rubbish into recycle or non-recycle. Therefore Container Deposit Scheme will be a non-profit and work independently of the beverage companies.As many Australian buy innumerable bottles each day, it will increase the equipment casualty of the drinks by 10 cent and whenever the container is returned to the convenient recycling depot, that amount of specie will be refunded. However, if it is not returned, this deposit scheme will confront to recycle and help to clean up the litter including the marine pollution. Stakeholders Basically, the distinguish stakeholders for this problem to start reducing plastic use, as a human being we should do th ings differently first. Our attitude to litter rubbish everywhere is should be changed in order to save the environment.So we should be aware of the impact of plastic use for a long time that can damage animals and also the environment. Australian government has already involved in firmness this plastic pollution problem. Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism are the aim of government that takes care of this specific problem(2013c). However they also need the interestingness of citizen as well because the role of this department is help to give learning to the citizen. In Australia, plastic products and packaging are required to marked with plastic identification code that place at the bottom to identify specifically what type of plastic is made from.So from the code itself, the government purposely encourages people to sort out the plastics materials type accordance to the recycle or non-recycle. In addition to the plastic debris in the ocean, Australian Marine conservat ory Society as the organization that influence by educate the public and equipping groups with suitable knowledge and skills to rescue sick and tangled marine animals because of plastic. They are responsible and occupy interest on marine life that endangered. Conclusion As conclusion, plastic is break all over the place because its physical characteristics that makes everybody tend to use for daily products.However, plastic is non-renewable resources that harm environment for long period of time. It happens that on the beach, there is incalculable debris that spread all over the location. Hence, this problem can be solved, when people have initiative to change their attitudes towards plastic. They should be able to separate which are reusable and non-recyclable. So it will reduce the amount of plastic debris and help to maintain the ecosystem in the ocean as well as accompaniment the population of animals that are endangered because of plastic debris.
