Plastic pollution has severe environmental impacts, including harm to wildlife through ingestion and entanglement, habitat degradation, and the release of toxic chemicals that contaminate ecosystems and the food
chain, ultimately impacting human health.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the environmental impacts of plastic:
Ingestion:
Marine animals, birds, and other wildlife can mistake plastic debris for food, leading to starvation, internal injuries, and death.
Entanglement:
Plastic waste, especially larger pieces, can entangle animals, causing injuries, drowning, or starvation.
Habitat Degradation:
Plastic pollution can cover beaches, contaminate soil, and clog waterways, destroying habitats and disrupting ecosystems.
