Plastic pollution harms human health
Source 5: Children and women of reproductive age are vulnerable to the chemicals from plastics.
Source 6: “Following exposure, via diet and/or inhalation, uptake is plausible.”
Source 3: Plastic was processed at small, “plastic waste household-recycling workshops.”The impact on the local environment, as well as the health of workers and their families that live with them.
General Problems
Source 3: The problem of plastic is worldwide
Source 4:
Too much plastic bags in the marine environment
Source 2:
Plastics have effect on fisheries
Source 5: Plastic pollution in oceans and on land, pollution by plastics additives
Source 1:
Less than 10% of plastic trash is recycled
Source 6:
Microplastics have the potential to harm human health
Human behavior related to plastic pollution
Source 3: “Plastic is a valuable resource, one that needs to be used responsibly and with greater consciousness.”
Source 4: There are no significant differences in commitment to take action between participants in the environmental campaign and the other consisting of non-participants. (p160)
Source 2: “ Increasing population levels, booming economy and rapid urbanization have greatly accelerated the plastic waste generation rate.”(P422)
Source 5: “Plastic pollution comes from improper disposal.”
Source 1: Discarded plastics always end up buried or landfilled because it is too complex to recycle.
Plastic pollution harms animal survival
Source 5: “In the ocean, plastic pollution can kill marine mammals directly through entanglement in objects such as fishing gear, but it can also kill through ingestion, by being mistaken for food.”
Source 2: The major inland fisheries (belonging to developing countries, particularly Asia's economies) are located in the top 20 plastic polluted rivers. (P422)
Solutions about plastic
Source 1: Plastics can be recycled if we cut them into small pieces.
Source 3: People have the responsibility to make sure all the materials can be recycled and be used to make new products.
Source 4: The ecological benefits of coastal/marine protection schemes should communicate to the public.
Source 5: Use of biodegradable plastics and a “zero waste” philosophy
