While some people believe that we should replace all plastic products with more environmentally friendly materials, such as glass but others prefer the plastic product. Is this a good approach in the current world situation? This essay will explore both sides of the argument and state the reason for agreeing with the topic.
As the world continues to evolve the scientists innovate new inventions for the easy way of life. However, not all products may be ecologically beneficial. Consider the polythene bags used by the consumers to by their groceries. Where does this bag end up when it is of no use to the user. We’ll, it is dumped in the ocean, where the marine ecosystem suffer from the toxic effects of the chemicals that make up the plastic. Then, comes the question of recycling of plastic. Though it is beneficial, it has been scientifically proven that the recycled plastic is more harmful. However, when materials like glass are used it can be safely recycled and reuse and there won’t be poisonous effects on the user and the biological world. A shift to environmentally friendly products will fulfill the many environmental policies of government.
Changing of the path of people to environmentally friendly products may be appreciated however people have relied on plastic products for a long while due to its advantages. A change from plastic can also lead to a drop in plastic industries and lead to loss of job security. Governments should implement polices to give people a job security.
To conclude, I agree with the belief of people that we should replace all plastic products and help the current and future generations live a sustainable life.
