Plastic pollution is a growing<br />
environmental concern worldwide.<br />
Plastic waste, especially single-use<br />
plastics, has a negative impact on<br />
our ecosystems, including our<br />
marine life. Moreover, it is<br />
increasingly becoming evident that<br />
plastic pollution also poses health<br />
risks to humans, especially through<br />
the consumption of food.<br />
Plastic is made up of toxic chemicals,<br />
and as it breaks down into smaller<br />
pieces, these chemicals can leach<br />
into the surrounding environment.<br />
This process is accelerated when<br />
plastics are exposed to sunlight,<br />
heat, or acidic environments. When<br />
plastics end up in our oceans, they<br />
break down into microplastics, These<br />
microplastics can be ingested by<br />
marine organisms and make their<br />
way up the food chain.
