Plastic pollution refers to the accumulation of plastic products in the environment, which can harm wildlife and ecosystems. Everyday items like plastic bags, bottles, and packaging often end up in oceans, rivers, and landscapes, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. This pollution poses a threat to marine life, as animals may ingest or become entangled in plastic debris. The impact of plastic pollution extends beyond wildlife; it also affects human health and the economy. Microplastics, tiny particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic items, can enter the food chain and contaminate drinking water. Addressing this issue requires collective efforts to reduce plastic use and improve waste management practices.
