Plastic is all around us. It forms much of the packaging for our food and drink. For many of us, it is throughout our home, our workplace, our car, the bus we take to and from work. It can be in our clothing, eyeglasses, teeth, toothbrush, computers, phones, dishes, utensils, toys. The list goes on, especially when you look around and begin to notice the plastic in your life.
Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, durable, strong and relatively inexpensive. It can be chemical resistant, clear or opaque, and practically unbreakable. These are wonderful useful qualities, and plastic plays many important roles in life on Earth, but the widespread use of plastic is also causing unprecedented environmental problems, and harbours serious health risks . Plastic should be used wisely, with caution and only when suitable alternatives do not exist or are not available.

Prevention Of Plastic Pollution And Comparison With PaperJeelkumar Patel
What is Plastic Waste and How to harmful effects of Plastics in nature all things explain. How to manage Plastic Waste Management and explain with case study.
The Concept of Control and Manage Plastic Pollution of India/Worldtheijes
The Plastic is part of requirement. So we can’t avoid them. Every country tired from plastic pollution. Government try to stop problem, so it creating many rules, but it’s not effected in human mentality. In this research paper, given direction to protect our country from plastic pollution problem, in which 1) Given financial demand to waste plastic, 2) Swachh Bharat Abhiyan inside creating ‘Bharat Swccata Knedra’. 3)There make product, which use in Plastic dam construction also use like road divider, foot path etc. In this concept plastic is set as like place which is recent requirement of people. In this paper I’m given example of India, how to India protect from Plastic pollution problem. And I know all world accept this technique because this is requirement of world.
Plastics are everywhere, in our home, school, work, playground, parks, and beaches. It is such a popular material because it is flexible, lightweight, moisture resistant, and inexpensive. Even if plastics are found deep inland, they eventually find their way to the sea or ocean through rivers and streams. The global consumption of plastic was 260 million tons in 2010. It is estimated to reach 297.5 million tons by 2017.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Introduction
The word plastic is derived from the Greek (plastikos)
meaning capable of being shaped or molded.
Plastics are a range of synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerization
products that can be molded into a permanent object having the
property of plasticity.
Properties of Plastics
Resistant Durable Insulator Inexpensive
About 100 million tones of plastic is produced each year.
Easy to
produce

3. Oxygen,200 °C
Composition
Ethene Polythene (LDPE)
(CH2=CH2) 2000 atm ([-CH2-CH2-]n)
Most plastics contain organic polymers. The vast majority of these polymers are based on
chains of carbon atoms alone or with oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen as well.
Most plastics contain Additives (0 to 50%). The average content of additives is 20%
by weight of the polymer.
Fillers are used to improve performance and to reduce costs.
Stabilizers like fire retardants are used to lower the flammability of the material.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
4. Composition
Plastics that are made up of polymers
having only aliphatic (linear) C atoms
in their backbone chains. Ex -
polypropylene polypropylene
Plastics that are made up of heterochain
polymers contain O, N, S in their backbone
chains, in addition to C. Ex - polycarbonate
polycarbonate
Plastic behaviour of polymers is influenced by their morphology (arrangement of
molecules ). They’re either amorphous or crystalline. Most thermosets are amorphous,
while thermoplastics may be amorphous or semi crystalline.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
5. Classification
Thermoplastic
Thermosetting
• Plastics that do not undergo
chemical change in their
composition when heated and can
be molded again and again.
• Thermosets are permanently "set"
once they're initially formed and
can't be melted.
80% of the plastics produced are thermoplastics and of these Polyethylene, Polypropylene,
Polystyrene and Polyvinylchoride (PVC) are most commonly used (70%)

9. POLLUTANTS FROM PLASTIC
Plastics Release Pollutants:
•Poly brominated di-phenyl ethers (PBDE)
•Nonylphenolls
•Bisphenol A
•Phthalates
Plastics Absorb Hydrophobic Pollutants:
•Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
•Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloro ethane (DDT)
•Dichloro Diphenyl Dichloro ethylene (DDE)
PVC when burned result in emissions of the deadly poisons named dioxin.
Dioxins are highly persistent compounds, with the potential to become increasingly
concentrated in living tissues as they move up the food chain. It is often considered to be the
man-made compound most toxic to animals.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
10. Why is there ‘so much’ Plastic Pollution??
We currently recover only 5% of the plastics we produce.
Pollution exists today due to the society's lack of environmental
awareness & the ease of simply littering plastics.
11. Who is Affected?
The species that is most affected is the
marine, aquatic population.
To a sea turtle, a floating plastic bag looks
like a jellyfish.
When they eat these plastics, it clogs their
intestines, and they miss out on vital
nutrients, and ultimately starve to death.
Other types of loose plastics entangle birds,
fish and mammals, making it difficult, if not
impossible to move or eat, which too leads to
their ultimate demise.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
12. Who is Affected?
0.05% of plastic pieces from surface
waters are pellets
They comprise about 70% of the plastic
eaten by seabirds.
These plastic particles have been found
in the stomachs of 63 of the world's
approximately 250 species of seabirds.
Birds and other marine animals gets
trapped in plastic shopping bags, which
suffocate them to death.
Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many
as 1 million sea creatures every year.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
14. Plastics > Statistics
Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed
worldwide. That's over 1 million plastic bags used per minute.
Scientists estimate that every square mile of ocean
contains about 46,000 pieces of floating plastic.
Plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to break down.
At least 267 different species are known to have suffered from
entanglement or ingestion of plastic marine debris.
Only 14% of plastic water bottles are recycled.
Packaging now accounts for 1/3 of all household waste.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
15. World plastic Production
Plastics > Statistics
The per capita consumption of
plastic in the country is 10.2 kg in
2012.
It is expected to go up to 12 kg
by 2014.
By 2012, India is also projected to be the third largest consumer market for
plastic goods with a consumption of 12.5 million tonnes per annum, behind US
and China.

EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
18. Is It Really Harmful??
Yes, it is..
When we eat or drink things stored in plastic,
plastic is incorporated into us.
Plastic is one of the few chemical materials which
pose environmental problem.
Plastic is biologically quite inert, hence regarded to
be more an aesthetic nuisance than a hazard.
Plastic is cheap, it gets discarded easily, and, its
persistence in the environment can do great harm.
It causes immune and enzyme disorders, hormonal
disruption leading to endocrinal disorders and even
infertility and is also considered as carcinogenic
(cancer).
Not only human health, it dangerously effects
other animal life and alters the environmental (air,
water and soil) sustainability causing hazardous
pollution.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
19. How does plastic waste impact oceans?
Plastic is accumulating at an alarming rate in our
oceans - wreaking havoc on wildlife, polluting our
beaches and entering our food chain.
Our addiction to use-and-toss items is causing this
growing problem.
Plastic bags pose a serious danger to birds and
marine animals that often mistake them for
food.
Thousands of marine animals and more than 1
million birds die each year as a result of plastic
pollution.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
20. What Is Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
•An island of plastic 6 times the size
of Vietnam in Central North Pacific
Ocean.
•Over 300,000 pieces of plastic/sq.
mile.
•Plastic outnumbers plankton 6 to 1.
•80% of plastic from land-based
sources, 20% from ships.
Estimates of size range from 700,000 square km to more than 15,000,000
square km (0.41% to 8.1% of the size of the Pacific Ocean).
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
21. Impact on Environment
Plastic is ubiquitous in our lives because
it is convenient and relatively inexpensive.
Its convenience comes from being
lightweight and its ability to absorb impact
shock without breaking.
Plastics are so versatile in use that their
impacts on environment are extremely wide
ranging, posing serious challenge for disposal.
Careless disposal of plastic bags chokes drains, blocks the porosity of the soil,
and causes problems for groundwater recharge. Due to its non-biodegradable
nature, littering of plastics causes irreversible damage to the environment.

Toxic
Plastic bags, once ingested, cannot be digested or passed by an animal
so it stays in the gut. Plastic in an animal’s gut can prevent food digestion
and can lead to a very slow and painful death.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
23. Disadvantages of Plastic Bottles
Difficult To Recycle Glass bottles can be melted and
easily reused, as can tin cans.
Recycling plastic is not so simple.
Water bottles are often reused in the
home but become less and less sturdy
over time and are ultimately thrown away.
Plastic is manufactured using oil by-products and
natural gas, materials that could be used in numerous
other applications.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
24. Disadvantages of Plastic Products
As many as 100,000 whales,
turtles and birds have been
reported to die every year,
because of plastic in
environment.
Plastic not only have adverse
effects on our natural habitats,
but have also been found to be
responsible for the death of
many animals, mainly on
account of the suffocation
encountered on eating them.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
25. ALTERNATIVES
Plastic bags take between 15 to 1000
years to degrade.
The detoxins and other chemical
pollutants released from them are a
Serious threat to be tackled.
Paper , Cloth, Jute, Cane, etc., are the
most preferable but still controversial.
Designing eco-friendly, biodegradable plastics is the need of the hour. Though partially
biodegradable plastics have been developed and used, completely biodegradable plastics based
on renewable starch rather than petrochemicals have only recently been developed and are in
the early stages of commercialization.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
26. What We Can Do?
Say NO to plastic check-out bags whilst shopping and buy reusable
bags or bring your own for your shopping instead.
Use Glass/Ceramic instead of plastic in Microwave.
Replace plastic travel mugs with stainless steel for hot beverages.
When you can’t avoid plastic, check container bottoms for recycling
codes (in triangle with chasing arrows). Choose those easily recycled.
Shop at the local farmer’s markets. Buy can instead of the plastic bottle .
The amount of oil needed to produce a years worth of plastic packaging
could fuel 480,000 cars for a year.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
28. OUR RESPONSIBILITY
It's impossible to eliminate most plastic from daily life, but it's
prudent for our health & environment to curb the use of some.
Proper management for disposal and public awareness
would bring a great difference in present situation.
Overall reduction in plastic usage.
Hand over plastics properly for recycling or disposal.
Do not let plastic litter the environment.
PLASTIC
Act NOW …. SAVE EARTH
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
30. Plastic Waste Management
Disposing of plastic waste is trickier than
dealing with traditional landfill material.
Not only plastic take thousands of years to
break down, it can leach dangerous poison
into the environment.
Plastic is not going away, but how plastic
waste is managed is becoming more
sophisticated.
Managing plastic waste starts at home
with the consumer, but ultimately depends
on governments around the world as well.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
31. Future of Plastic
Biodegradable plastic seems to show some light,
however, they too come with certain
disadvantages. When degraded, these emit
harmful Co2 and methane.
However, there is a recycled plastic curbstone,
which acts as a substitute to building materials.
“oxo-biodegradable” plastics are eco-friendly
as when degraded they emit no methane.
Many developing countries like India are banning
plastic bags. Instead of banning them, the plastic
bags should be utilized elsewhere.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
32. What Can We Do To Save Our Environment?
The two best changes we can do are:
Use less plastics
To reuse plastics when possible.
Lead by example
Ask your friends and family to join you
Speak to city council
Write letters to government officials
Get your institute involved
By using ONE reusable cloth bag, we can save up to 6 plastic bags a week
that translates into 24 bags a month or 288 bags a year that amounts to
22,176 bags in an average lifetime.
EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
33. Conclusion
• Enormous quantities of plastic are produced and used.
• It is convenient (use and throw away).
• Although some plastics are recyclable, not enough is
recycled.
• Plastic waste pose a serious threat to environment.
• Laws, economical measures and education help.
Should we really put our own selfish needs before the needs of everything
around us now and the lives of future generations? As a responsible citizen we
must take precautions while using plastic products, reduce the consumption,
and encourage others to do the same. ||THANK YOU ||
