It describes how plastic pollution harms wildlife and the environment when littered or burned. The document also discusses the health impacts of plastic production, use, and disposal and proposes awareness campaigns and clean-up efforts to help address the issue of plastic pollution.
Whenever word plastic comes to our mind the first thing that strikes is HARMFUL!
So here is a little presentation to show how to convert that harmful thing into something innovative :)
ENJOY
Plastic pollution is when plastic has gathered in an area and has begun to negatively impact the natural environment and create problems for plants, wildlife, and even the human population.
In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away. Plastic waste is now so ubiquitous in the natural environment that scientists have even suggested it could serve as a geological indicator of the Anthropocene era.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. WHAT IS PLASTIC ?
Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic
or semi synthetic organic solid materials suitable for the
manufacture of industrial products .
Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular weight , and may
contain other substances to improve performance and / or reduce
costs .
Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which pose
environmental problem .
Polyethylene , polyvinyl chloride , polystyrene largely used in the
manufacture of plastics .
3. HISTORY OF PLASTIC :
The first man - made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes who
publicly demonstrated it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition
in London .
The material called Parkesine was an organic material derived from
cellulose .
Celluloid is derived from cellulose and alcoholized camphor .
John Wesley Hyatt invented celluloid in 1868.
He created celluloid in a strip format for movie film By 1900 , movie
film was an exploding market for celluloid .
4. CHEMICALS IN PLASTIC :
The vast majority of plastics are composed polymers of carbon and
hydrogen alone or with oxygen , nitrogen , chlorine or sulfur in the
backbone.Common plastics type are :
Polypropylene ( PP ) Food containers , appliances , car fenders ( bumpers )
.
Polystyrene ( PS ) - Packaging foam , food containers disposable cups ,
plates , cutlery , CD boxes
High impact polystyrene ( HIPS ) - fridge liners , food packaging , vending
cups .
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS ) - Electronic equipment cases as
computer parts , drainage pipe etc
Polyethylene terephthalate ( PET ) carbonated drinks bottles jars , plastic
film , microwavable packaging
Polyester ( PES ) - Fibers , textiles
7. PLASTICS ADVERS EFFECTS ON OUR
ENVIRONMESNT
Garbage has been discarded into the oceans for as long as
humans have sailed the seven seas or lived on seashores
or near waterways flowing into the sea . Since the 1940s ,
plastic use has increased dramatically , resulting in a huge
quantity of nearly indestructible , lightweight material
floating in the oceans and
eventually deposited on
beaches worldwide
8. PLASTIC WHEN BURN IN AIR :
When plastic burned in air it releases a
host of poisonous chemicals into the air
, including dioxin , the most toxic
substance known to science .
1. Dioxins are found throughout the
world in the environment and they
accumulate in the food chain , mainly in
the fatty tissue of animals .
2. Dioxins are highly toxic and can
cause reproductive and developmental
problems , damage the immune system ,
interfere with hormones and also cause
cancer
9. Plastic poison - Styrofoam :
Styrofoam is one of the most environmental toxins found in plastic .
Polystyrene , is manufactured using benzene , from coal styrene , from
petroleum ; and ethylene , " blowing agent used in the process since
the crackdown on CFCs .
• Extracting these raw materials generates air and water pollution , it
can lead to lung cancer and neurological problems in factory workers .
• Like all plastics , polystyrene is non - biodegradable . Even after a
take - out container has dissolved 500 years from now , its chemical
components will still clog the eco - system .
• Research on whether polystyrene chemicals " migrate " from
container to food is hotly debated , but it's a fact that styrene has been
present in our fatty tissue and breast milk for the past 30 years .
10. Plastic carry bag : A major
source of pollution
• Plastic has replaced the traditional material ( paper / cloth etc ) as packing
and carry bags because of its low cost of production , light weight , strength ,
process easy manufacture , and availability .
• There are numerous hazards of plastic carry bags . The land gets littered by
plastic bag garbage presenting an ugly and unhygienic seen
• The " Throw away culture results in these bags finding their way in to the
city drainage system the resulting blockage , creates unhygienic environment
resulting in health hazard and spreading of water borne diseases .
• This littering also reduces rate of rain water percolating , resulting in
lowering of already low water levels in our cities .
• The soil fertility deteriorates as the plastic bags form part of manure
remains in the soil for years
11. PLASTIC BAGS KILL ANIMALS :
About 100,000 animals such as dolphins , turtles whales ,
penguins are killed every year due to plastic bags . Many
animals ingest plastic bags , mistaking them for food , and
therefore die . And worse , the ingested plastic bag remains
intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal .
Thus , it lies around in the landscape where another victim may
ingest it .
12.
13. PLASTIC'S EFFECT ON HUMAN LIFE :
Plastic plays the villain right from the stage of its
production .
The major chemicals that go into the making of
plastic are highly toxic and pose serious threat to
living beings of all species on earth .
Some of the constituents of plastic such as benzene
are known to cause cancer .
Plastic resins themselves are flammable and have
contributed considerably to several accidents
worldwide .
14. PLASTIC'S EFFECT ON HUMAN LIFE :
Once plastic is produced , the harm is done once and for all . Plastic any kind
of attempt at disposal - be it through recycling , burning , or landfilling .
When you recycle a hazard , you create a hazard . Recycling of plastic is
associated with skin and respiratory problems , resulting from exposure to and
inhalation of toxic fumes , especially hydrocarbons and residues released
during the process
15. RECYCLING OF PLASTIC :
The biggest problem with plastic recycling is that it is difficult to automate the
sorting of plastic waste , and so it is labor intensive .
Typically , workers plastic looking at the résin identification code , though
common containers like soda bottles can be sorted from memory .
Only 3.5 percent of all plastics are recycled in any way . . It is estimated that
between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each
year .
Less than 1 percent of these are recycled as it costs more to recycle a bag than
to produce new one .
16. RECYCLING OF PLASTIC :
Recycling of plastic is associated with skin and respiratory problems , resulting from
exposure to and inhalation of toxic fumes especially hydrocarbons and residues
released during the process .
What is worse , the recycled plastic degrades in quality and necessitates the
production of more new plastic to make the original product . Recycling of plastic is
very uneconomical dirty and labour - intensivé as has been revealed by a study
conducted by the Public Interest Research Group , based in Delhi , India .
17. SOLUTIONS TO CONTROL PLASTIC
POLLUTION :
Awareness campaigns- Stop using plastic bags . Educate people about the plastic
pollution and its effects on our environment .
• Road show in regards " No to plastic bags " , and display of banners on the
walls of slums , colonies and societies areas . • Hands with the Municipal
Corporation to take the corrective measures , to do timely inspections .
• Support NSS , NGOs , Volunteer agencies and others to organize " Safai
Abhiyan " in all Society slums , colonies and rural areas . Social responsibility ,
commitment and ownership by every individual may control the problem .
