Plastic is material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of plants. Plastic are
now made from oil, Coal, natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the earth's supplies may run out. Because of
this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax. Things
made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some. plastics can last a long time without wearing out,
and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites hundreds of
years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.

Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used again to make new products.
This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted
down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibers (Strands of material) for
clothing. Another way to protect the environment is use canvas bags from shopping rather than plastic ones. A lot of plastic
objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away once they are empty.
Unwanted plastic goods such as CDS and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
