Answer:

To,

(Person's name)

Subject :- Problems caused by the plastic pollution.

(Person's name),

Everyone today is dependent on plastic. Life without plastic is unthinkable. But people have forgot how the excessive use of plastic could hurt our beloved mother Earth.

The usage is not the problem, the actual problem is that Plastic isn't disposed in a proper manner. Children eat the packet of chips and throw the wrapper on the ground and not in the trash.

Even some of the parents don't stop their kids from throwing it on the ground.

About 80% marine animals die as they get trapped in plastic waste and die due to suffocation. Poor turtles!

The plastic blocks the drainage system, it creates a big body of dirty water. It again causes infections and diseases. Think about the people who clean out the drains! They could catch a disease or an infection.

Plastic, I believe, also is a main reason for soil pollution. It doesn't get decomposed like plants and animals do however, humans dig a pit and throw the plastic in it anyway. It pollutes the soil.

To get rid of plastic, many people burn it. It then creates a lot of smog with harmful particles and gasses, which in return, results to air pollution harming the Earth we all know and love.

(Optional) Could you please print my letter in the newspaper? Like many others, it will create awareness about how plastic effects our Earth in a very negative way.

Sincerely,

(Your name)
