Answer 1

Answer:

According to researchers from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, plastic production and disposal has resulted in 850 million tons of greenhouse gas in 2019 and could be responsible for up to 2.8 billion tons by 2050. Plastic exposed directly to sunlight (not submerged in water) produces even more of the harmful gases in our atmosphere. All of these gases result in warmer air and create the greenhouse effect.

I think that we need more government regulation because there are people in this world that think global warming is fake or that just don’t care about the world that we live in. These people won't make a change unless they are made to. If it was up to us, the people, to make a change on global warming alone I feel as if the population would be split between the people who care and the ones that don’t. I think we would end up making it worse.

I do think about the plastic I use every day and about much we use as a whole (America) and how harmful that is.. I use a lot of plastic that I don’t even think about like containers to hold my food, Ziploc bags, the handle on my hairbrush, my toothbrush, the credit card I use, and so much more. I would totally do things to decrease my use of plastics. I could bring my own paper or cloth bags to the store. I could use metal cups. I could use metal or paper straws
