Plastic is one of the biggest environmental pollutants because it breaks down slowly and can end up in oceans, rivers and forests, endangering animals. To reduce my daily habits, I can replace plastic things with other ones. The picture shows a plastic bag, it can be replaced with a cloth bag, and the plastic toothbrushes we use every day can be replaced with bamboo or wooden ones. In order to invite students to be responsible for the environment, I could hold a battery campaign. Which class will accumulate more battery until a certain date.

Plastmasa ir viens no lielākajiem vides piesārņotājiem, jo viņš ļoti ilgi nesadalās. Tas ir kaitīgs veselībai un arī dabai.

Es ikdienā plastmasas pudeļu vietā varētu lietot stikla pudeles ar apvalku lai ērti un veselībai droši lietot. Mājās plastmasa ūdens pudeli nomainīt uz drošu stikla pudeli. Arī veikalos var iet ar stilīgu auduma maisiņu var un neiegādāties plastmasas.

Es ieteiktu izvēlēties dabai nekaitīgākus materiālus papīru, stiklu jo tie nav tik kaitīgi. Es varētu vairāk savos soc tīklos rādīt, ka lietot videi draudzīgas lietas ir forši.

Plastic is one of the biggest environmental polluters because it takes a very long time to decompose. It is harmful to both health and nature.

In my everyday life, I could use glass bottles with a cover instead of plastic bottles to make it convenient and safe for health. At home, I would replace plastic water bottles with safe glass ones. Also, in stores, I could use a stylish fabric bag instead of buying plastic ones.

I would recommend choosing more eco-friendly materials like paper and glass, as they are less harmful. I could also show on my social media that using environmentally friendly items is cool.

Plastmasa piesārņo dabu un tā sadalās aptuveni 500 gados. Plastmasas patēriņu vajag samazināt tā, lai būtu nepieciešams sagatavot plastmasas izejvielu daudzumu. Mans tētis varētu aizvietot plastmasas skuvekli pret metāla skuvekli, jo tas ilgāk kalpos. Es varētu izmantot metāla makšķeri pret plastmasas, jo plastmasas makšķerei ātrāk lūzt kāts nekā metāla makšķerei.

Plastic pollutes nature and breaks down in about 500 years. Plastic consumption needs to be reduced in such a way that it is necessary to prepare the amount of plastic raw materials. My dad could replace a plastic razor for a metal razor because it will last longer. I could use a metal fishing rod against plastic because the plastic fishing rod is quicker to break its stem than a metal fishing rod.

Plastmasa piesārņo dabu, tas ļoti ilgi sadalās un ir viegli saplēšams. Plastmasa tēriņus ir svarīgi samazināt, lai saudzētu un pasargātu dabu. Es varētu plastmasas lineāla vietā lietot metāla lineālu, plastmasa pildspalvas vietā lietot metāla pildspalvu. Es varu ierosināt talku, izveidot plakātu, lai sabiedrība nelietotu tik daudz plastmasu, jo tas piesārņo un pasliktina dabu.

Plastic pollutes nature, it takes a long time to decompose and is easy to tear. It is important to reduce the consumption of plastic in order to preserve and protect nature. I could use a metal ruler, a metal pen instead of a plastic pen. I can propose a cleanup, create a poster so that society doesn't use so much plastic because it pollutes and degrades nature.

Ir svarīgi samazināt plastmasas patēriņu, jo tā sadalīšanās prasa apmēram 500 gadus un tā ļoti kaitē veselību un vidi.

Es ejot uz veikalu neņemu plastmasas maisu, bet stilīgu auduma maisu.

Mājās mēram trauku mēģinu izmantot metāla ne jau plastmasas.

Es uztaisītu plakātu par plastmasas šķirošanu un mazāku lietošanu, un izkarinātu plakātu skolā vai nofotografētu un ieliktu sociālajos tīklos.

It is important to reduce the consumption of plastic because it takes 500 years to decompose and is very harmful to health and the environment.

I don"t take plastic bag when i go to the store, but a stylich fabrik bag.

At home, I try to use a metal measyring cup, not a plastic now.

I would make a poster about sorting plastic and using less plastic and put in school or take a picture and post it on social media.

Plastmasa ir viens no videi vis kaitīgākajiem materiāliem ,jo tas sadalas tikai aptuveni 500 gadu laikā. Ja neatbildīgas cilvēku rīcības dēļ plastmasa nonāk mežos, okeānos vai jūrās ,tas var būt ļoti kaitīgi dabai un dzīvniekiem. Tāpēc ,lai šādas problēmas samazinātos plastmasas vietā bieži var izmantot citus materiālus ,piemēram, mālu, stiklu, metālu un citus .Kā ,piemēram, plastmasas ķammes vietā var izmantot koka ,un plastmasas piltspalvas vietā var izmantot metāla.

Plastic is very harmful to nature and can have many consequences. For example, kill life under water, because fish and others who live under water can think that the plastic we throw into the water is food and accidentally eat it. However, people can change plastic cups to glass, because glass is not harmful to nature as it can be seen in the picture. I could ask others to sort the garbage more and not throw them on the ground.

Latviešu valodā:

Plastmasa ir ļoti izplatīts materiāls, bet tas piesārņo dabu. Galvenie iemesli, kāpēc plastmasu vajag aizstāt, ir:

Pārmērīga izplatība: Plastmasa ir visur no vienreizlietojamām pudelēm līdz iepakojumiem, kas bieži tiek izmesti pēc īsa lietošanas laika. Tā nesadalās dabiski un var palikt vidē simtiem gadu.

Plastmasas sadalīšanās: Kad plastmasa sadalās, tā neiznīcina sevi pilnībā. Tās daļiņas var nonāk ūdenī, gaisā un augsnē, radot kaitējumu dabai.

Aizstājot plastmasu ar ilgtspējīgiem materiāliem, piemēram, bioloģiski noārdāmiem materiāliem vai atkārtoti izmantojamiem materiāliem, mēs varam samazināt šīs negatīvās sekas un veicināt videi draudzīgāku dzīvesveidu.

Angļu valodā:

Plastic is a common material, but it pollutes nature. The main reasons why we should replace plastic are:

Overspreading: Plastic is everywhere. From dissposable bottles to packiging, that mostly after it' s use gets thrown in the nature slowly destroying it. Plastic doesnt compose that fast and stays in the nature for hundreds of years.

Plastic composing: when plastic composes it doesnt destroy itself fully. It’s particles  can get in thewater, air and in the soil making damige to the nature.

Replacing plastic with durable and long lasting materials, for example biological  materials or reusable materials we can reduce the negative consequences and make the environment a more friendly lifestyle.

Plastmasa ir viens no lielākajiem vides piesārņotājiem, jo tā sadalās ļoti ilgi un bieži nonāk

dabā, īpaši upēs un jūrās. Manuprāt, varētu lietot daudzreiz lietojamos plastmasas maisiņus, jo viņi ir izturīgāki par papīra maisiņiem un var panest vairāk produktus vai mantas, bet viņi piesārņo dabu vairāk nekā papīra maisiņi. Tāpēc tos nevajadzētu mest laukā, bet lietot vairākkārt.

Vis biežāk vidē ir sastopami plastmasas pudeles,salmiņi,pārtikas maisiņi.plastmasas pudeles var aizstāt ar audumu maisiņiem,metāla vai arī ar stikla pudelēm.Es varu izmantot stikla vai arī metāla pudeli un varu neiegādāties preces ar plastmasas maisiņiem.Es varētu pateikt draugiem kas notiek ar dzīvniekiem cik sāpīgi ir sagriesties vai arī aizķerties aiz kautkā asa un arī teiktu lai piedalītos talkās un savāktu atkritumus,sargājam dabu.

Most often, plastic bottles, straws, food bags are found in the environment. Plastic bottles can be replaced with fabric bags, metal or glass bottles.Weight, use a glass or metal bottle and I can not buy goods with plastic bags.I could tell my friends,what happens to animals, how painful it is to get bitten or caught by something sharp and also say to participate in clean-ups and collect garbage, we protect nature.

Visbiežāk sastopamie plastmasa izstrādājumi ir piemēram: pudeles, maisi, trauki(dakšas, šķīvji, karotes, naži, krūzītes)

Svarīgi samazināt plastmasa patēriņu ir, tāpēc, lai dabā nebūtu palikuši plastmasu izstrādājumi un un nepiesārņo dabu un apkārtējo vidi un, lai dzīvniekiem būtu mierīgāk.

Es varētu aiziet uz domi un pajautāt, lai viņi publicētu liepājniekos lai šķiro atkritumus un aizstāj ar kaut ko citu.

Es varētu publicēt skolas mājas lapā lai šķiro atkritumus un nelieto plastmasa izstrādājumus un aizstāj ar kaut ko citu.

The most common plastic products are, for example: bottles, bags, dishes (forks, plates, spoons, knives, cups)

It is important to reduce plastic consumption, so that nature there would be no plastic products left and it does not pollute nature and the surrounding environment and so that the animals are calmer.Liepaja residents should sort the garbage and replace it with something else.

I could publish on the school's website to sort waste and not use plastic products and replace them with something else.

Plastmasas maisiņi kaitē dzīvniekiem, piesārņo vidi, sadaloties un kaitējot apkārtējai videi.Lai izvairītos no plastmasas maisiņiem var izmantot auduma maisiņus, kas ir izmantojami vairākkārt un videi draudzīgāki. Arī lai veikalos nopirktu jau gatavo produkciju var nākt ar saviem traukiem, kas samazinās nevēlamo atkritumu daudzumu, šādā veidā pircējs ietaupa arī naudu, jo nav jāmaksā par traukiem. Auduma maisiņus var lietot atkārtoti un daba tie sadalās draudzīgāk nekā plastmasa.

Plastic bags harm animals, pollute the environment, decomposing and harming the environment. Instead of plastic bags, fabric bags can be used, which are reusable and more environmentally friendly. Also, in order to buy ready-made products in stores, you can come with your own dishes, which will reduce the amount of waste, which also saves the buyer money, because there is no need for dishes. Cloth bags can be reused and are more environmentally friendly than plastic.

Plastmasas lietošana rada vairākas nopietnas problēmas videi un cilvēku veselībai. Šeit ir daži galvenie iemesli, kāpēc vajadzētu samazināt plastmasas patēriņu:

1. Vides piesārņojums

Plastmasa sadalās ļoti lēni – tā var saglabāties dabā simtiem gadu. Liels daudzums plastmasas nonāk okeānos, veidojot milzīgus atkritumu laukus, kas apdraud jūras dzīvniekus.

2. Mikroplastmasa

Laika gaitā plastmasa sadalās sīkās daļiņās, kas sauktas par mikroplastmasu. Tā nonāk ūdenī, augsnē un pat pārtikā, ko mēs

ANGLISKI

The use of plastic causes several serious problems for the environment and human health. Here are some of the main reasons why you should reduce your plastic consumption:



1. Environmental pollution



Plastic decomposes very slowly - it can remain in nature for hundreds of years. Large amounts of plastic end up in the oceans, creating huge waste fields that threaten marine life.



2. Microplastics.


Over time, plastic breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics. It gets into the water, soil and even the food.

More environmentally friendly Plastic forks often end up in waste and pollute the environment, but metal forks can be reused and recycled. Plastic is harmful to nature for several reasons: Plastic can remain in nature for hundreds or even thousands of years because it does not break down as quickly as organic materials. Plastic waste often ends up in rivers, seas and oceans, where it threatens animals and ecosystems. Animals can accidentally eat or become entangled in plastic, which can cause serious injury or even death. Some plastics contain harmful chemicals that can enter the environment and contaminate soil and water.

PLASTIC

1.Reducing plastic consumption is crucial for several reasons. First, plastic waste takes hundreds of years to decompose, leading to pollution in our oceans, rivers, and land. This pollution harms wildlife, as animals often mistake plastic for food, which can be fatal. Additionally, plastic production contributes to climate change due to its carbon emissions. By reducing plastic use, we can minimize environmental damage, protect wildlife, and reduce the negative effects on the climate.

2.There are many small changes that can add up to a big difference. For example:

Opt for reusable bags, bottles, and containers instead of single-use plastic.

Choose products with minimal or eco-friendly packaging.

Buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.

Use alternatives like beeswax wraps instead of plastic film.

Avoid disposable plastic cutlery and straws by using reusable or compostable options.

Support businesses that are committed to sustainability and reduce plastic waste.

3.To encourage others to be more environmentally conscious, you could:

Organize educational workshops or discussions at school or within your community to raise awareness about the environmental impact of plastic.

Start a recycling program or plastic-free challenge to motivate people to take action.

Share information on social media about how small actions can make a big difference in reducing plastic waste.

Encourage local businesses to offer eco-friendly alternatives and reduce plastic packaging.

Lead by example: adopt sustainable habits in your own life and inspire others to follow suit.

Create community clean-up events to directly reduce plastic waste in local parks and beaches.

Plastmasa ir ļoti kaitīga dabai.Tā nesadalas tik ātri kā citas lietas.Mēs varam daudzām plastmasa lietām atrast aizvietojumu.

Plastmasa maisiņš-nopērkam vai uzstaisam auduma maisiņu tas ir izsturīgāks un labāks maisiņš dabai.

Plastmasa krūze-varam lietot stikla vai kartona krūzīti tas pats tikai savādākā meteriāla un saudzīgāks dabai.

Plastmasa salmiņš-var izmantot stikla ai metāla salmiņu.Kādēļ lietot plastmsa salmiņu ja tas ātri sakožļājas vai savādāk.

Plastmasas bļoda-varam lietot stikla bļou.Tas ir tik vienkārši!

Plastmasas pudele viegls alternatīvs būs metāla pudele varbūt ne stikla, jo ātri sašķīdīs.

Plastmasas lineāls-lietosim koka lineālu tas plastmasa lineāls ātri saplīšis ne tā uzsitīs vai nokritīs un viss saplīsis.

Bet vispārīgi uzskatu kad plastmasu nevajadzētu lietot, jo tas ir bīstami!DDaba bojājas, dzīvnieki savainojas dažreiz nomirst.Mēs ciešam no tā arī.Paši kad aizbraucam kaut kādos mežos vēlamies palikt pa nakti tur,bet nevar, jo apkārt ir daudz plastmasas gruži kuri nesadalās un piersāņo tik daudz apkārtējo vidi tādēļ saudzējam daba un nelietoja plastmasu,bet ja lietoja metam ārā atkritumus tam paaredzētā vietā.

For plastic cupp we can use glass cup or carboard cup that is the same as plastic cup but its better to the nature!

For plastic straw we can use glass strav or metal straw. Why we use plastic if it chews or something else.

Plastic bowl alternative is glass bowl. That is so easy just to get alternatives!

Plastic bottle easy alternative will be metal bottle maybe not glass because it will be easy to it shatter.

Plastic ruller the most common alternative will be wood ruller the plastic ruller will shatter really fast if you hit it or throw it to the floor.

But in general i think that we shouldn’t use plastic because it is dangerous! Nature gets damaged, animals gets hurt or sometimes dies. We suffer from that too. When we drive to the forsest and wwe want to stay overnight there but we can’t because there are trash most of them are plastic witch dont decompost.

Plastmasas patēriņu ir svarīgi samazināt, jo tas ļoti slikti ietekmē dabu, tas arī ietekmē mūs. Plastmasa bojā dabu un to iznīcina, bet koki un citi augi ražo mums skābekli, tādejādi ražojot plastmasu mēs bojājam gaisu un apdraudam dzīvniekus.

Auduma iepirkumu maisiņš ir daudz videi draudzīgāks nekā plastmasas maisiņš, kā arī tas ir daudz labāks nekā plastmasas maisiņš, jo tas kalpo ilgāk, izskatās smukāk un ir videi draudzīgāks.

We need to reduce the plastic consumption, because it effects the nature in a bad way, it effects us too. The plastic damges the nature and the air, but the trees and other plants give us the oxygen that we need and they clear the air. The plastic ends up in oceans, streets, forests and other places too. So if we make or use more plastic we harm the nature and the animals too.

To reduce the plastic consumption we can use bambus toothbrushes rather than plastic one. It's way more friendly to the nature and they aren't that expensive.

Durability:

Long-lasting: Metal forks, especially those made from stainless steel or other high-quality metals, are incredibly durable. They don't bend, break, or lose their shape over time, making them an excellent investment for everyday use.

Eco-friendly:

Reusable: Unlike plastic forks, metal forks are designed for repeated use. This means less waste and a significant reduction in the amount of single-use plastic in landfills or oceans.

Sustainable: Many metal forks are made from recyclable materials, so when they finally do reach the end of their life, they can be melted down and reused.

Health Benefits:

Safe for Food: Metal forks do not leach harmful chemicals into food, unlike some plastics. You don’t have to worry about toxins or unsafe substances affecting your health when using metal utensils.

METAL FORK

. Eco-Friendly:

Reusable: One of the biggest benefits of metal forks is that they’re reusable. Instead of using a disposable plastic fork once and throwing it away, a metal fork can be washed and used again and again, reducing waste.

Healthier Option:

Non-Toxic: Metal forks don’t leach harmful chemicals like some plastic forks can, especially when exposed to heat or acidic foods. This makes them a safer, healthier option for both you and your family.

Plastic is one of the biggest environment polluters, because it decomposes very long and very often gets in nature, especially in rivers and oceans. In my opinion, we could use reusable plastic bags, because they are stronger than paper bags and can hold more items and products then paper bags, but they pollute nature more then paper bags. Therefore we shouldn't throw them out, but use them multiple times.

Reducing plastic is important because plastic takes a very long time to break down and can stay in the environment for hundreds of years. Animals can swallow plastic, which harms them and can damage their homes. By using less plastic, we can keep the environment cleaner and protect animals and nature. For example i could use paper bags instead of plastic bags i could use metal bottles instead of plastic bottles. I could make a poster about using less plastic.

Plastic is one of the most harmful materials, because it only decomposes in about 500 years. If, due to irresponsible human actions, plastic ends up in oceans, forests, and seas it can be really harmful to the nature and animals. Therefore, to reduce such problems, we can replace it with other materials such as clay, metal, glass and others. For example, you can use a wooden hair brush instead of a plastic one and instead of a plastic pen, you can use metal pen.

Plastic is harmful for the environment because it can get to the ocean, lake, river and anywhere else in the nature which threatens the animals that live there. It also divides or decomposes very slowly taking up to 20 to 500 years!

So to reduce the use of plastic, you can get altenatives of stuff that has plastic in it. For example like in the picture you can get a pen made out of metal instead of plastic or a bag made out wool instead of plastic.
