How do plastic alternatives affect wildlife?

What are some common plastic alternatives and how do they impact wildlife?

Common plastic alternatives include biodegradable plastics, glass, and metal. These materials can reduce wildlife harm by decomposing more easily and not contributing to microplastic pollution.

Are biodegradable plastics really better for the environment?

Biodegradable plastics can be better, but they still require specific conditions to break down. If they end up in the ocean, they can still harm wildlife.

What about the impact of glass and metal on wildlife?

Glass and metal are generally safer for wildlife as they are recyclable and do not break down into harmful microplastics. However, they can still pose risks if broken.

How can I help reduce plastic waste in my community?

You can help by using reusable bags, supporting local initiatives for recycling, and educating others about the impact of plastic waste.
