The invention of plastic is the most problematic pollution problem. Plastic is a commonly used material for making things because plastic can change its shape easily. Plastic waste is everywhere on the Earth, even in the oceans, and these plastics remain in the environment for 000 years. These days, the world is producing almost 300 million tons of plastics in a year, and 20% to 40% of these plastics wind up in landfills, while 0 to 20 million tons are thrown away in the ocean. Besides, there are chemicals present in plastic. The trashed plastics in the ocean release chemicals, affecting the organs of marine animals. They can also cause rapid cell division which results in cancers. A lot of marine animals have died after consuming a large number of plastics. A dead whale found on the coast of Scotland in June 207 had consumed 9 pounds of plastics, and this was causing a block in its digestive system. To make this problem worse, more than 4000 cases of fish with plastics in their bodies are found worldwide.
Deforestation is the removal, clearing, or destruction of a forest or a stand of trees for many reasons: land for building, farming, plantation, pasture for life stock, or sold as fuel. Deforestation can happen in the rainforest or any area densely populated by trees and other plant life. Mostly 3% of the Earth’s

land is covered by forests. Deforestation can lead to the loss of habitat of animals, increased greenhouse gases, desertification, soil erosion, and floods. The loss of habitat of the animals is one of the dangerous and unsettling effects of deforestation. The trees of the rainforest can provide shelter for some species of animals, which can help to regulate the animal’s body temperature. In addition to the loss of habitat, a decreased number of trees will increase the amount of greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere. Desertification means the process of land degradation in areas that results in dryland and fragile ecosystems. Then farming becomes almost impossible because the area became desert and the crops can’t grow well, so because of this reason many farmers sell and leave their land. Soil erosion is the washing or blowing away by water or wind of the top layer of the soil known as dirt. If the soil has eroded, the crops that make food will not grow well. Soil erosion also leaves a large hole in the ground that can weaken or collapse the structure of buildings. A flood means overflowing water on the ground due to an overflowing river, a dam break, or heavy rainfall. In an area without plant life, a flood is a lot more eminent because there is nothing to stop water from gathering and going all over places.
