Contamination in our Environment

One of the causes of contamination in our environment is the problem that we have with plastic bottles. According to “The Ecology Center”, there is a high percent of plastic trash in the United States, which are affecting the cities, ocean, water places, and humans and animal s’ health. (1) “The Ecology Center” also states that the level of plastics is increasing significantly because the population is overbuying plastic product, so a few of those plastic get recycled. In addition, “The Ecology Center” mentions that some plastic made by certain companies are toxic and contain “Bisphenal- A (BPA)” (which is a chemical that factory uses to made bottle plastic) which affect our hormones. As a result, “The Ecology Center” recommends to reduce plastics trash from our environment, but the only way to do it is by reducing sugary drinks consumption.
