Plastic pollution in the ocean physically affects several marine organisms and poisons human food systems. It can also affect larger oceanic processes, speculate a team of researchers.

Plastic on the ocean’s surface can trap sunlight, making the surface warmer and reducing the amount of light and heat traveling to the depths of the ocean.

If plastic litter were to cover the ocean’s surface, it can have ripple effects on marine ecosystems and affect the planet’s climate system, the scientists warn.

Plastic items find their way to the river and other water bodies, which are then swallowed by fish, seabirds, and other marine species, thus leading to suffocation and death.

Plastic Waste Management:-

There are primarily three ways of managing the plastics:

• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle 

Reduce

This refers to the reduction or decreased consumption of plastic artifacts.

• We can reduce the use of plastic bags and carry jute bags and paper bags to carry items from the market.
• We can reduce the use of plastic containers for the storing food and other items and use more durable materials like metal.
• We can avoid using takeaway food containers.

Reuse

• We can use discarded bottles and jars to store food items and water.
• We can reuse the plastic bags whenever possible, keeping safety and hygiene in mind.

Recycle

                            

• We can give the old plastic chairs and jars for a recycle and support the cause by using recycled items.
• We can try using recyclable plastic bags whenever possible.
