Plastic scraps can be recycled and shaped into different objects. Though its recycling is not
simple, it is not impossible either. We can recycle plastic waste and make durable fencing and
thus save timber. However, plastic products, particularly plastic bags, are not good for health.
People throughout the world still use plastic bags which are dangerous for one’s health. There
is a campaign going on in the world today against the use of plastic bags. Experts recommend
the use of jute or cloth bags to avoid the dangers that plastic bags pose to human beings. A

bigger danger is the careless dumping of plastics, especially polythene bags. Plastics do not
biodegrade in nature. If you bury a plastic bag in the ground, it can still be dug out intact after
500 years. Worse still, certain poisonous chemicals leak from plastic and get into water
making it unfit for use. Carelessly thrown plastics blow around in the surroundings, get into
soil, choke drains and waterways, and sometimes kill animals that eat them by mistake. They
can also be collected and illegally sold back into the market, causing serious health risks
