Plastic items,toys and bag are not easily destroyed. They stay in the soil as they are. Sometimes animals like cows or goats swallow these packets which get stuck in their throats. So we can buy bottled products instead of those which are packed in plastic containers.Ceramic (pottery,porcelain) crockery can be used and plastic ones can be discarded. Even by using ink pens instead of ball pens we can reduce using plastics as ball point refills are not destroyed easily.
