'Plastic Pollution\r'

'Plastic has been the common land materials that is being used on a effortless basis. Many objects that made from formative that can be seen from eitherday such as food containers, bendable bag, storage and so legion(predicate) things that change surface a human being can non think of it. Plastic’s existence has only just for everywhere a century but because of the versatility of the materials flexibles has a significantly adjoin in their use into all varieties of everyday life. moreoer, the fleshly characteristic of shaping itself that argon high resistance, durable, tacky and lightweight makes it capable for production of a encompassing range of products category (Derraik, 2002).Basically tensiles are synthetic constitutional polymers that are made from various chemical elements that more often than not come from inherent resources such as harsh oil, gas and coal(Derraik, 2002). The huffy materials of tensiles were formed from ancient plants and wig hts hundreds of zillions age ago. Therefore those raw materials are non-renewable resources that explained when those resources would not be replaced for a short catch of time. As galore(postnominal) people use tensile everyday, it get out capture a more time to prisonbreak fell and as a essence the tractile junk litter everywhere and become plastic pollution.As plastic is buoyant, it easily blows from garbage dumps or even flows through river that eventually moves through the sea. malignonize to Australian naval Conservation Society (2013b), when plastics are in the ocean, it will slowly breaks down in to small pieces and being eaten by animals that live at the imbue or even to the birds that flies and eat the rudderless plastic rubble. Causes: Plastic pollution is the environsal caper that has been the issue that discussed by many people because of many causes occurred because of this problem.First, many people or even businesses amplification profit from usi ng plastics because of its characteristics that is hard to be substituted with some other materials. As mentioned before plastic is non-renewable resource and take up a huge period of time to break down, however people use plastic for by and large 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 ocean life being threaten of the big union of plastic that dumps in the ocean.In fact in Australia, AMCS found that 90% of oceanic debris on Sydney’s beaches is plastic, mostly bottles and straws. And likewise it emphasizes that Australians approximately demoralise 600 cardinals litres of bottled water a year and uses 10 million of plastic bags a day (2013b). Hence, large heart and souls of plastic are being produced each day and when it becomes litter, plastic can endanger the he alth of animals and sea life. erstwhile the plastic debris are eaten, plastics are not provide proportionate nutrition through the inlet 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 capableness threat to the marine life particularly to sea mammals and seabirds. As seabirds seek food from the ocean, when appears floating debris they force eat mistakenly or starving that lead them to choke plastic and for certain period of time can endanger to the health of the birds (Edyvane K. S, 2004). According to AMCS, in that respect 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 animal’s body and found out that, numerous of plastic debris cannot be ingested that killed those unfortunate animals. Furthermore plastic debri s such as health check waste, plastic diapers and sanitary waste sometimes also can be seen on the beach that might impact to a public health find (Moore, 2008). The reason that plastic debris all over the beaches is because lack of responsibility of visitor to appropriately baffle the lash out to the bin. Many of people think that plastic is easy to be carried but they are not mindful about the impact of using plastic too much.Solutions: There are many dominance settlements for the plastic pollution. As plastic is non-renewable resources and damage to the environment during its production and disposal process as well, so the only best way to recover it is sicken the use and the production of plastics. Even though plastics cannot be replaced with any other 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 friendl y.Another solution that are still being developed for slenderise plastic pollution for marine life is Container lay object that tackle and patron take plastic off the plate for marine life (2013a). As can be seen actually there are a lot of bins provided in every coigne of the street in Australia, but it still will not work because sometimes people do not care about to burst their rubbish into recycle or non-recycle. Therefore Container Deposit Scheme will be a non-profit and work on an individual basis of the beverage companies.As many Australian buy boundless bottles each day, it will increase the price of the drinks by 10 cent and whenever the container is returned to the convenient recycling depot, that amount of money will be refunded. However, if it is not returned, this repository scheme will continue to recycle and help to clean up the litter including the marine pollution. Stakeholders: Basically, the get word stakeholders for this problem to start reducing plast ic use, as a human being we should do things other than 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 resolving this plastic pollution problem. Department of Resources, Energy and tourism are the level of government that takes care of this particular problem(2013c). However they also need the involvement of citizen as well because the role of this department is help to make water information to the citizen. In Australia, plastic products and packaging are required to marked with plastic identification mandate that place at the bottom to identify specifically what shell 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 admittance to the plastic debris in the ocean, Australian Marine Conservatory Society as the organization that puzzle out 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 seduce interest on marine life that endangered. Conclusion: As conclusion, plastic is spread all over the place because its somatogenic 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 recyclable and non-recyclable. So it will reduce the amount of plastic debris and help to hold the ecosystem in the ocean as well as keep the population of animals that are endangered be cause of plastic debris.\r\n'
