Essay Description
General topic :
Green movements in our environment
Specific topic :
The benefits of reducing the use of plastics in our daily life.
Writing purpose :
To Persuade
Writing Type :
Argumentative
Abstract : This essay will try to
persuade the readers about the importance of reducing the use of plastics in
our daily life. Reducing the use of plastics gives us many advantages. First,
it can maintain biotic and abiotic components in our environment. Second, it
decreases the number of garbage on the sea and third, it can save the ozone layer and human health
from the plastics burning. From those advantages, people will know the
importance of reducing plastics and try to reduce the use of them in their
daily life.
Thesis
statement : Reducing the use of
plastics gives us three benefits, it can maintain biotic and abiotic
components, decreases the number of garbage on the sea and save the ozone layer and human health from
the plastic burning.

INTRODUCTORY
PARAGRAPH
Thesis
Statement : Reducing the use of
plastics gives us three benefits, it can maintain biotic and abiotic
components, decrease the number of garbage on the sea and save the ozone layer
and human health from the plastic burning.
BODY PARAGRAPH
Paragraph A
·
Topic sentence : Reducing the use of plastics can
maintain biotic and abiotic
components.
·
Supporting
details : 1. Poison from the
particles of plastic when it entered into
the ground will kill the decomposer like a worm and
other microorganism
2. Plastic and
styrofoam can release chemical substances that can be harmful for the ecosystem
and it can seep into the ground. Pcb (polychlorinated biphenyl) could not be
unraveled although inedible by an animal and will be a serial killer in the
order the food chain.
Paragraph B
·
Topic sentence : Sea ecosystem can be save by reducing
the use of plastic.
·
Supporting
details : 1. Marine animals consider
that the plastics are their food
and eventually die because weren't able to digest it.
2. There are a lot of plastic waste that floats in the
ocean, finally came pacific trash vortex or also known as the great pacific
garbage patch.
Paragraph C
·
Topic sentence : Reducing the use of plastics can save the
ozone
layer and human
health.
·
Supporting
details : 1. Plastics burning creates a
very dangerous substance. The
substance is dioxin which are carcinogens or cause of
cancer and cause many dangerous diseases.
2. Plastics burning produce carbon monoxide gas that
can make thin the ozone layer, and lead to the
greenhouse effect.
CONCLUSION
Final thought : Plastic is very difficult to be
destroyed. It would take about 500 years to disentangle the particle of plastic
naturally. Plastic waste gives many disadvantages for human life. By reducing
the use of plastics, we can save the ecosystem and avoid some dangerous
diseases.
NO MORE PLASTICS!
Nowadays, people live in a
practical life where they do anything they want without thinking of the effects that will come
toward them. Because of this life style, they produce all things which are in
accordance with their practical life. One of examples is plastic. They produce
plastic in order to help some people who don’t have enough time to prepare
anything. Plastic is believed to be a solution in human life. However, plastic
is not the right solution. In fact, plastic brings human more disadvantages
than its benefits. Research proves that plastic needs at least 500 years to be
destroyed. Besides, particles of plastic will seep into the ground and lead to
various problems. To solve this problem, we need a concrete measure to avoid the
problems that will occur as a result from the use of plastic. We have to reduce
the use of plastic in our daily life. By reducing the use plastic, it gives us
three benefits, it can maintain biotic and abiotic components, decrease the
number of garbage on the sea and save the ozone layer and human health from the
plastic burning.
First, reducing the use of plastic can maintain biotic
and abiotic components. Plastic waste that covers the layer of soil will damage
the ecosystem inside it. Plastic waste cause the ground not penetrable by plant
roots. The poison from the particles of plastic will kill the decomposer inside
the ground such as worm and other microorganism. The land will be infertile and
plants will be difficult to grow even die because they don’t obtain food to
thrive. In addition, plastic produce some chemical substances. One of them is
PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyl). PCB could not be unraveled although inedible by
animals. PCB will be a serial killer in the order of food chain. Animals that eat
PCB – contaminated food even for short periods of time suffer liver damage and
may die.
Second, reducing the use of plastic decrease the number
of garbage on the sea and save sea ecosystem. There are a lot of plastic waste
on the sea. Based on the research held by united nation, about 80% of trash on
the sea derived from the mainland and almost 90% is plastic. The plastic wastes
that float on the sea creating a pacific trash vortex or also known as the
great pacific garbage patch. Those plastic wastes are below the surface of the
sea, so it can’t tracked via satellite and plane. The plastic waste on that
area have resulted in pollution on the sea. Many marine animals have become
victims of the garbage pile. Marine animals consider that the plastic wastes
are their foods and eventually die because they were not able to digest it.
Third, reducing
the use of plastic can save the ozone layer and human health. We have known that
plastic waste is very hard to be destroyed. No matter how hard our efforts are,
plastic that has polluted the land will still produce some dangerous
substances. Because of this problem, people burn those plastic waste in order
to avoid the dangerous substances that can seep into the ground. In fact,
burning plastic waste is not the right solution. Moreover, it brings us more
disadvantages. Plastic burning creates a very dangerous substance. The substance
is dioxin which is carcinogen or cause of cancer and many dangerous diseases.
The air which contaminated by dioxin may harm the ecosystem. In addition,
plastic burning produce carbon monoxide gas that diluting the ozone layer and
lead to the greenhouse effect.
In conclusion, we should limit the use of plastics in our
life. Plastic is very hard to be destroyed. It would take about 500 years to destroy
the particles of plastic naturally. Plastic waste gives many disadvantages to
human life. By reducing the use of plastics we can save the ecosystem and avoid
some dangerous diseases.
