Plastic wastes are wastes of human activities that deliberately or accidentally finish into rivers and other water bodies or streams. These wastes finally reach the sea and other water bodies where aquatic life. With the increased use of plastic, the respective waste management has become a problem, since many types of plastic (unlike other wastes such as wood) are not biodegradable and, therefore, accumulate. Plastic dragged through the water is dangerous, because it represents a serious threat to fish, seabirds, marine reptiles, and mammals, including for boats and coastal homes or placed in banks . Contribute to this problem spills and garbage dumps windblown or rainwater. In the current situation, in which the damage is done, a possibility,

We must be careful when we wash since you can not wash with very hot water, or with corrosive substances. Plastic bottles, are conducive to the proliferation of bacteria, which could cause health problems as a simple gastroenteritis.When reused many times we have agreed we should be aware that the best place for our bottle is the container of plastics.
Dispose: When you throw a bottle or send to the landfill, where most of the time the burn or set aside by emissions associated with their combustion gases, pollute an area of land that once had life, an ecosystem, fauna, which now is inhabited only by rats and seagulls. The bottle or plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, releasing toxic substances and items that end up in the ground, entering the life cycle of the organisms that inhabit it. Nothing good. Plastics in general have invaded large tracts of land, necessitating collection by the danger that short-term ecology generated. The collected or beaten do nature-loving citizens as volunteers or government …show more content…
Yes. Every year 8 billion tonnes finish in oceans (Parker 2015). Only 15% of the total plastic production is recycled. The rest of the waste ends up in oceans, beaches, rivers and streets. In fact, the so-called Pacific Garbage Patch is constituted entirely by remnants of this material.
Plastics are produced from fossil fuels, a source of clean energy, which causes emissions of greenhouse gases, and non-renewable because in a few years its reserves will be exhausted. But a solution to the problem of plastic waste could come with the use of so-called biodegradable plastics (Wyss Institute Communications). The ISO (International Standard Organization) defined as those plastics that are degraded by the action of microorganisms .
I believe that some good strategies or measures to control this type of waste are promote the environmental education, both from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Education, as the various entities involved in the issue, to sensitize the population and learn to separate different types of waste and manage them. Moderate laws and other legal acts (bylaws, for example) to reduce the use of plastic is another good idea to combat
