Ban Single Use Plastic
by Perla, 10
We must ban single use plastic.
It is bad for the planet .Single use plastic is not useful, we throw it and never use it again. It stays on earth for over a hundred of years. And it never gets used again. All of that plastic turns into microplastic. And fish eat microplastic, and we eat fish. For example - an apple, when you eat it it breaks down, well micro plastic when it’s in our body, some of it stays for a very long time.
There must be a limit to plastic. We use too much plastic for a lot of unuseful things. We could replace plastic with a lot of things,carton and glass for plastic bottles ,we can use glass for medicine containers, in hospitals we can use metal instead of plastic, instead of putting food in plastic wrappers or containers, we could use carton and a lot more. Why use plastic, it’s cheap but bad for the planet.
But in some cases plastic is good. We use it in hospitals,food safety and we also need it in other ways. Hospitals sometimes do need plastic to cure patients. Even though we do need plastic in hospitals for a lot of reasons we could reduce it, and use a bit less plastic.
We must stop using one time used plastic, even normal plastic we must stop using it. We can replace plastic with so many other materials.
