Impact of Plastic Pollution on Marine Life and Environment

This article discusses the impact of plastic pollution on marine life and environment. It suggests solutions to reduce plastic pollution and steps to stop climate change. The essay provides examples of reducing climate change practices. The subject is related to ocean environment, climate change, and pollution. No course code, course name, or college/university is mentioned.

1. Ocean environment is intact that increases natural as well as cultural resources.
The world faces disturbances due to greenhouse gas and the growth of aquaculture.
It causes damage to marine life. It also damages the environment and cause
damage to biodiversity and lead to the reduction in the overall function.
2. As per the article, the evidence show that plastic bags are the threat to the
environment and these bags involve long distances which are blown by the wind and
do not break until reach the river or ocean. It does not biodegrade and breaks into
minor parts, thus plastic bags in the ocean are the deadliest threat to birds, sea
birds, marine mammals.
3. Biodegradable plastics are the incorrect outcome to the problems in oceans.
Plastics are mostly durable and it tends to high amount of plastic waste.
Biodegradable plastics create better approach and it has not been the effective one.
Plastic pollution has generated huge problem and is also known as the major
contributor in the biodegradable plastics. (Gerpe, et. al 2012)
4. The solution is the biodegradable plastic where the properties of plastic will not
continue for long term. With respect to the scenario, it might get lost with nature or
decomposed with the organic products. The other solution is to remove plastic. With
the efforts that involve trash collection is good based on the positive attitude. The
high volume of plastic trash does not have to focus on labor and capital. These are
the short term solution but for the long term solution, the behavior of people is the
major issue and it needs to be changed. Plastic is not good for health and one
should avoid its uses. (Moore, et. al, 2011)
Article 28
5. It is clear approach on win – win strategies for the decrease in the sudden
emissions. The things that could be done on anyway, if the global warming had not
been thought, it decrease the deforestation which is a big win – win. It decreases
carbon emissions and there is a need to pay to the nations like Brazil and Indonesia
to create separation from the forest.
6. The technological issues are not related to the new technologies and innovations.
As per the objectives and goals of Robert Socolow and Stephen Pacala, the concept

of stabilization develops the amount of carbon that shaves off the upward emission
pattern. There are different wedges in terms of transport, power creation and energy
effectiveness. (Hengstler, et. al 2011)
7. Most of the power in the electric is created by developing the non-renewable
energy sources with respect to coal etc. This also offers environmental challenges
and energy plants that can be identified with the environmental approach.
Coal –fired electric plants decrease the rate of greenhouse gases and other
dangerous pollutants to the environment on the regular approach. With the worst
offenders such as sulfur dioxide, it involves the development of acid rain and
nitrogen oxides. It’s beyond the emissions of carbon dioxide that involve dealing with
the surrounding change. Burning coal release the carbon dioxide with the
surrounding of electricity it generates.
Nuclear power plants decreases with less carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur
dioxide and other toxic gases. The facility who manages does not focus on involving
the surrounding climate modifications. The towers of broad cooling approach of
nuclear plants decrease water vapor. The coastal plants destroy the heated water to
lakes as well as seas. This radiates the warming in the surface. The temperature
with the increased water might also move the way there could have sharing of
carbon dioxide. (Moore, et. al, 2011)

Essay
Introduction
Ocean environment is intact that increases natural as well as cultural resources. The
world faces disturbances due to greenhouse gas and the growth of aquaculture. It
causes damage to marine life.
Discussion
Steps for stopping climate change
As per the research, it helps to deal with the marine ecosystems and follow
dangerous consequences of surroundings change in terms of the increase in the sea
level and high amount of storms, decreases productivity and oxygen presence.
The win – win strategies in the tropics helps to develop strong insulation and focus
on the living situations which is highly comfortable and decreases the bills of fuels.
Without climatic change, it can decrease the pollution in the air and enhance the
experience in the urban region. It will improve the physical fitness and one would be
able to deal with obesity problems. (Hengstler, et. al 2011)
Example to reduce climate change practices
While developing the wind turbines, wedge is the example where millions of solar
panels increase from the growth as well as development.
Conclusion
This could be managed with respect to the ocean approaches and it leads to
important changes in weather trends like hurricanes. This is created with the help of
reactor and it includes distinction and errors in terms of safety as well as security.
