Plastic contains chemical additives that are negative for our health. It is also bad for the environment and living things because we burn fossil fuels which end up as deadly waste in landfills and oceans

plastic is bad, plastic can kill, plastic bad, unhealthy

Plastic bags start out as fossil fuels and end up as deadly waste in landfills and the ocean. Birds often mistake shredded plastic bags for food, filling their stomachs with toxic debris. For hungry sea turtles, it's nearly impossible to distinguish between jellyfish and floating plastic shopping bags.

Plastic is bad because it pollutes the ocean which kills the fish which kills the animals that eat fish and kills the animals that eat the animals that eat the fish and so on until it reaches us

Single use plastic is bad for you because the Plastic does not decompose it just breaks up into smaller pieces instead. Plastic waste is harmful to all animals on land and in the oceans.

A single use of plastic is bad for you and the environment because of the fossil fuels that it burns. Its also the way they are transported, where they end up in piles which produce massive greenhouse gases.

plastic in the environment affect critters, and birds. Clean water can be impacted by microplastics.

plastic doesnt go away easily and they stay for a long time

Micro plastics can leak into our food and water harming our health.

intaking plastic can be deadly and poisoness to humans so when ingested through water systems can make people sick

Plastic is bad for animals. Takes awhile to go away. Microplastics impact clean water.

Plastic has bad chemicals inside which can't be degradable. They also have fossil fuels which causes more problems to the environment.

single use plastic is bad for the environment because it doesnt decompose and just stays here all the time. its bad for us because its made of fossil fuels and burning fossil fuels is bad for us because it affects our oxygen levels

Jonnathan Villamnueva

Because single-use plastic is produced from fossil fuels, extracting and creating these plastics emits vast amounts of greenhouse gases.

Intaking plastic can be deadly and poiseness to humans so when it’s injected it can be deadly therefore

Single use plastic is made of fossil fuels and it isn't degradable.

Mark

Plastic ends up as waste in landfills and the ocean that won't go away because it isn't degradable. This is harmful for the environment.

Shay Rodriguez

single use plastic is bad for the enviorment because its made of fossil fuels and pollutes the earth, and affects the living environments of all living organisms.

Single use plastic is bad for all living things because plastic over time decompose, allowing toxic waste and fossil fuels to emerge in our atmosphere, causing harm to our environment.

Sophia Kang

2024-04-11 19:05:36 UTC

Plastic is made out of burning fossil fuel which negatively impacts the environment. Not only that, plastic doesn't decompose which becomes a harmful landfill.

Briseida M.

Single used plastic is bad for you, the environment, and all living things due to the fossil fuels that are being released which are harmful for all organisms.

Daniel Garcia

Plastic is bad for the environment because it does not decompose, so it just takes up space until recycles, it is bad for living things because some animals get stuck or choke on the plastic bags

Plastic is very harmful to the environment when not disposed of properly.

Plastic is bad for our environment, especially living things because they can digest it and harm them.

single use plastic is bad for the environment b/c it takes a while to decompose which means it will sit around for thousands of years. Also animals may eat it or get tangled in plastic waste which is bad.

Joseph Davila

Plastic takes too long to decompose and stays around long after we use it

Joseph Matamoros

2024-04-11 19:06:26 UTC

Plastic takes a while to break down, making it a harmful material that will stay on Earth. The production of plastic is also harmful for the environment.

Sergio H

Because, plastic is not degradable and stays in the Earth for a very very long time. It is also harmful to us, our environment, and animals.

alianna jimenez

When single-use plastics are disposed of improperly, they often end up in landfills or the natural environment. Plastics take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, releasing toxic chemicals into the soil and water as they break down.

Genesis

Plastic is bad because it affects every animal in the planet in a bad way. such as turtles for example because they eat plastic and it it a choking hazard for them, and many other sea animals.

plastic pollution breaks into microplastics through sun exposure and weathering.

Jonnathan Villanueva

2024-04-11 19:07:04 UTC

Because single-use plastic is produced from fossil fuels, extracting and creating these plastics emits vast amounts of greenhouse gases.

Gerson Martinez

Plastic use is bad for me in the way that to make plastic is to burn more fossil fuel and we all know how that affects the climate. Climate change can affect everyone like how heat grows and makes wildfires more critical and glaciers melting causing storms and more natural disasters.

Max

Single-use plastic is bad for the environment because they are non-biodegradable. They use chemicals to make them which harm the atmosphere and can hurt wildlife.

Isaiah

Using plastic bottles is really harmful to the earth due to the fact people litter and the plastic goes into our oceans and wildlife which harm our earth. When he drink out of plastic bottles it harms our bodies due to the fossil fuels in the plastic.

Plastic doesn't decompose and stays around long after it has been used

Arloh

apalos0011 — 2024-04-11 19:12:31 UTC

Plastic is bad because it never goes away so and it ends up in landfill and since it is used with fossil fuels it harms the environment even more.

Nickole Rivas

2024-04-11 19:13:19 UTC

It is bad because the fossil fuels being released can be harmful to livings things. It's harmful to the earth as well because of pollution.
