VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Plastics which were produced from fossil fuels are just over a century old, but they have revolutionized our
life completely. The great advantages plastic offered led to a throwaway trend that made us discover plastic’s
dark side: the threat it poses to our environment and life. Plastic pollution is one of the main causes of marine
species extinction, health problems for human beings and animals alike, and the destruction of our ecosystems.
According to Greenpeace, more than 100,000 sea creatures and a million sea birds die every year after eating
plastic or getting trapped in plastic rubbish.
Every year, the world produces more than 380 million tonnes of plastic. In the next second while you’re
reading this paragraph, people around the globe will use more than 160,000 plastic bags and they’ll throw
away more than 20,000 plastic bottles. About 10% of plastic will be recycled, and some will go to landfills,
but a lot of it will end up in the waterways and eventually in the ocean. Experts estimate that there are already
5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in the world’s oceans. Because plastic isn’t biodegradable, it won’t
decompose naturally, so all the plastic that we have now in the world will exist forever. Experts are warning
that if we don’t take urgent action, plastics in the ocean will outweigh fish by 2050. There are many ways we
can do to keep plastic out of the ocean. We can swap plastic bags for reusable ones which are made of cloth
or fiber, reduce the use of disposable cutlery as well as food containers, and avoid plastic wrappings if possible.
We can also join in clean-up campaigns in your local community. Every little helps!
