TREE NGO’s awareness program on the harms of plastics
Recently, TREE NGO organized a plastic cleaning camp against plastic pollution in the village of Sadivayaal. People from the Saadivayal area participated and benefited from this. Officers who work in the Forest Department have given speeches about this awareness program and highlighted the event.
They also explained the common harms caused by plastic and how it affects the environment. And the harm caused by plastic to the forest and how it affects the health of the tribe people.
They explained how the livelihoods of animals and people will be affected by this plastic. People can understand the many harms this plastic can cause to people and animals through this awareness program. At the same awareness camp, they also explained how to protect ourselves from plastic and how we can save ourselves, our environment, and animals from plastic pollution.

How do the plastics affect the environment?
Plastic pollution is the accumulation of synthetic plastic items in the environment, which harms wildlife, habitats, and human populations. It entails the accumulation of big objects such as bottles and bags, as well as microplastics.
Because of its long lifespan and widespread use, plastic’s resilience, overproduction and consumption, and poor waste management all contribute to environmental problems. Plastic pollution is a developing and complex problem with serious environmental consequences.
How do the plastics affect the forest and animals?
Plastic pollution endangers forests and their people by contaminating soil, seeping hazardous chemicals, disturbing ecosystems by preventing natural decomposition, and interfering with plant growth by limiting sunlight and root development. It also destabilizes the delicate balance of forest ecosystems.
Plastic pollution is a major hazard to animal populations, resulting in ingestion, entanglement, habitat disruption, and food chain contamination. Land animals may confuse plastic trash for food, resulting in injury, obstructions, and famine. Pollution also leaches toxins into the surrounding ecosystem, contaminating animals and food sources.
Plastic pollution awareness
Addressing the environmental situation requires raising awareness of plastic pollution. It aids in recognizing the scope of the problem, changing behavior, influencing policy, and safeguarding species and ecosystems. People are motivated to take action via awareness efforts that inform them of the terrible effects that plastic has on these places.
Forest cleaning campaigns
Forest cleaning projects are an important strategy for increasing awareness of plastic pollution and improving the environment. They collect plastic garbage from woods, avoiding microplastics from contaminating soil and water, and protecting wildlife from ingesting and entanglement risks. Community involvement, proper trash management, education and outreach, and long-term initiatives to combat plastic pollution are all important components of successful programs. Forest cleaning projects are an important link between environmental action and public awareness, helping to build a more sustainable future.
