7BDIN003W - Digital Information Management: Presentation on Plastic

This presentation, titled "Say No To Plastic," created for a Digital Information Management module (7BDIN003W), addresses the pervasive issue of plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. It begins by defining plastic and exploring its widespread use due to its lightweight nature, ease of cleaning, low production cost, and versatility. The presentation then delves into the detrimental effects of plastic pollution, including land, air, and water pollution, detailing how plastic waste reduces soil fertility, contaminates the air with harmful gases, and endangers marine life. Strategies to reduce plastic usage, such as using reusable bags, buying in bulk, and avoiding bottled water and chewing gum, are presented as practical solutions. The presentation concludes with a call to action, encouraging recycling, reducing consumption, refusing single-use plastics, supporting bans, and educating others about the harmful effects of plastic. The bibliography cites sources related to plastic deformation, information systems, and recycling technologies.

Introduction
Plastic bags are a plague to the environment and ocean. The use
of plastic has many advantages but at the same time, it affects the
environment. Plastic pollution is caused due to accumulation of
plastic objects. It has an adverse effect on the environment
including human beings as well as wildlife and aquatic habitat. In
this presentation, the causes, effects and solutions for plastic
pollution are well presented to increase awareness among the
people.

• Plastic are material formed
by long chains of carbon
and hydrogen called
polymers ,
• Formed by units called
monomers .
• The most important
characteristics of plastic is
WHAT IS PLASTIC ?

WHY DO WE USE
PLASTIC ?S LIGHT IN WEIGHTS EASY TO CLEANS CHEAP TO PRODUCES EASY MOLDS UNBREAKABLES RECYCLING AND VERSATILES ORDER LESSS GOOD ADHESIVE PROPERTY

Plastic PollutionS Plastic is one the few new chemical materials
which cause environmental degradationS Plastic is more of an aesthetic nuisance than
a hazard since the material is biologically
quite inertS Plastic is cheap so everyone can afford it and
that’s why it get discarded easily which leads
to great harm on the environment.

Land Pollution

Impact of Plastic on
LandS Plastic pollute the land both physically and
chemicallyS Plastic reduces soil fertilityS Plastic spoils environmental aesthetic and hygieneS Plastic stops the growth of plants and trees by
blocking the absorption of minerals water and
other nutrients to the roots

Air Pollution

Impact of Plastic on Air
Industries emit large amount of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen. These gaseous
pollutants contaminate air and causes
respiratory diseases , nervous system
disorders and other ill diseases in human
body.

Water Pollution

Impact of Plastic on
Water (Marine Life)
Tens of thousand of whales, seals, turtles
and other marine animals are killed
everyday from plastic bags , litter in the
marine environment as they often
mistake plastic bags for food. Once they
ingest plastic bags it cannot be passed or
digested by the marine animals.

Strategies to reduce
plastic usageS Use reusable produce bagS Buy in bulkS Stop buying bottled waterS Stop chewing gumS Buy cardboard over plasticS Educate people about the ill effects of plasticS Stop burning plastic

Social Contribution of
people towards no to
plasticS Recycle , Reduce , Reuse ,
RefuseS Support bansS Spread the wordS Support organisation
addressing plastic pollution
