Despite being very useful it is advised to restrict the use of plastic. Why is it so? Can you suggest some methods to limit its consumption?

Plastics must not be used much because of the following reasons:

1. Plastics are non- biodegradable substances. Decomposing plastics take thousands of years. Thus, the disposal of waste plastics is very difficult.

2. On burning plastics, a lot of harmful gases are released that are harmful to the environment as well as to the humans. Thus, plastics must not be disposed of by burning them.
