Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution damages our planet today and we are all responsible. As the
population of our world is increasing, so is the amount of plastic garbage we
produce. That is because plastic is so cheap and easily available. Bike helmets,
car airbags, and many medical supplies are made of plastic. Plastic water bottles
hold drinking water and plastic straws helps people with disabilities.

Plastic becomes problem when we use it more than we need. According to the
UN Environment Program (UNEP), 300 million tons of plastic is produced every
year. National Geographic magazine states that more than 40 percent of plastic is
used just once and then thrown away. Bins bags, food packaging, shopping bags,
straws, and cups are some of the plastic products we use daily.

Plastic is not destroyed by natural processes. When plastic is thrown away carelessly, it will make its
way to rivers and oceans. Fish and other species may eat it. Some 700 species of marine animals have
been reported to have eaten or become entangled in plastic. By 2050, every seabird species on the planet
will be eating plastic. Soon or later, it is possible that plastic is into our food supply.

However, we can make a big difference. When we get rid of plastic, we can recycle and reuse it.
Experts suggest throwing plastic away correctly. They recommend a plastic recycling program. Old bottles
and other plastic are collected, broken down, and used to make new products. By putting a new value on
plastic, industry can save money. Moreover, it becomes one reason to clean up the environment.

1. Why is plastic popular to be used?

A. It is because it can protect our lives.
B. It is because it can break down easily.
C. It is because it is processed naturally.
D. It is because it is cheap and easy to find.

2. What are the problems of using plastic? Choose 3 answers.

A. It is eaten by sea animals.
B. It is destroyed by natural processes.
C. It is produced as single-used.
D. It is broken into smaller pieces easily.
E. It is difficult to break down.

3. What are the experts’ suggestions to solve the plastic pollution? Choose 2 answers.
A. We must not eat fish anymore.
B. We must not throw plastic away.
C. We must create a plastic industry.
D. We must do a recycling program.
E. We must get rid of plastic correctly.
