PLASTIC POLLUTION: The regulation, or lack thereof, by the United States government to benefit future generation and provide sustainability to all changes within the current years.
Pollution
Population and pollution growth are synonymous with one another because the amount of humans and their demands increase.
Increase in: Household cleaning supplies, personal care products, transportation, mining activities, fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides.
Government regulates zero policies on how to efficiently manage plastic pollution throughout the nation. The more humans populate the earth, the more miseducation is dismantling the earth's health.
Increase of population also requires an increase of job market and production outputs.
Increase of outputs causes markets, brands, and companies to rely on cheap plastic to respond to increase of population.
Regulation
Plastic pollution impacts marine life, local environmental animals, water systems, air pollution.
Plastic releases harsh chemicals that emit toxins into the fish we eat and into animals that are trying to regulate the ecosystem.
These toxins not only hurt the animals and creatures around us but also directly impact us inside of the air and water we drink. Humans can get plastic poison if plastic has been exposed in the sun for too long. Toxins of plastic also have been directly linked to cancer, birth defects, thyroid disruptancies, miscarriages, hormone disruption.
These animals are being impacted in their life expectancy from dying from plastic clogged in their digestive systems, and plastic strangling.
Animals and wildlife have also been impacted because they lack the ability to distinguish food from plastic. While this plastic kills them, it also slowly kills off their species and disrupts the food chain.
Scientists have found multiple cases of plastic built up inside of animals and sealife and found that to be the reason that plastic pollution has been the cause of death.
Policy
Government needs to create policy that limits businesses and corporations as to what materials and products they are able to produce.
Policy implementation is the only efficient way to, hopefully, make an immediate end to the increase in production of plastic.
The US government does well of hosting agencies that administer and regulate conditions within productions in industries, as well as the environment. New policies would be present with other countries, that will persaude Americans.

Solar Radiation
Places creating and introducing more solar radiation can be experiencing more effects of plastic pollution and effects of farmhouse gases.
Implementing new trash sources throughout towns and city (mandate for states).
Eco-friendly purchases.
Implementation of recycling bottles for cash sources.
Research on new and clean ways to host bags, bottled water, and containers.
Quit privatizing recycling and trash services and promote them to all neighborhoods and areas.
Plastic exposed to little UV radiation will then expose chemicals and then pollute the air.
Plastic pollution increases the amount of solar radiation in a city, town, or state causing it to get hotter. Plastic being one of the many sources of global warming.
Researchers can create bacteria that eats plastic alive rather than allowing it to try and deteriorate.
US government can build off of the Clean Air Act of 1970 and expand it to exposing plastic for its air harming chemicals.
Research can soon expose the future predictions about how healthy the air and livable the environment will be with the amount of toxins and chemicals released into air and sources of life.
Chemicals can combine with other chemicals inside of the ozone layer and form compounds that live for a long time.
Chemicals used to make plastic are not safe and break down the ozone layer.
Freeing food of contamination and setting new expectations.
Plastic imposes on soil, water, oxygen (sufficient or insufficient)
