Passage: 27
Plastic is a material that is used in everyday life for packaging, containers, bottles, and many other products. While plastic is convenient and durable, it causes serious environmental problems. Plastic does not decompose easily and can remain in the environment for hundreds of years. It often ends up in oceans and rivers, harming marine life. Many animals mistake plastic for food and may die after consuming it. Reducing the use of plastic, recycling it, and using alternatives like paper, glass, or cloth can help protect the environment.
