Rising Plastic Pollution: A Global Environmental Threat
Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels across India and the world, posing severe threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. The detrimental impacts of plastic waste on marine life, soil quality, and water bodies are well-documented, highlighting an urgent need for sustainable solutions. Microplastics infiltrating food chains and groundwater further exacerbate environmental degradation and public health risks. With climate change and ecological imbalance already pressing concerns, the long-term effects on future generations demand immediate global action. Addressing plastic pollution through circular economy models, waste-to-resource technologies, and advanced recycling systems is critical to safeguarding our planet’s sustainability.
