Environment 6 -Plastic Pollution Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Environment 6 -Plastic Pollution

Rating: 5.0


Polluting the environment with
Plastics - the new age material,
Polluting our rivers, lakes and ponds,
Perpetually damaging our marine life by
Pouring dirt, throwing litter, garbage,
Persistently threatening human health.

Celebrations of the world Environment day,
Committed to eradicate the plastic menace have
Connected to every state, universities and parks,
Crying out loud to beat the plastic pollution,
Communities and individuals taking up the
Cause of plastic ban as a serious objective of life.

Natural disasters or calamities cannot be escaped, but
Man-made blunders can be stopped or terminated.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a picture taken by me during my evening walk in Deer park in Delhi. The lake, ducks, trees and flowers are beautiful but it is disturbing to see plastic bags and plastic bottles littered all over the park.
A beautiful park is made ugly by people throwing garbage all around. It is man and only man responsible for this plastic pollution.

Plastic pollution is really a great headache to the present government. Plastic bags are not mingled in the soil more than one lac years. So the use of plastic bags should be banned. In this regard a touching expression has been made by you. I cite....Natural disasters or calamities cannot be avoided, / but Man-made blunders can be stopped or terminated. A brilliant poem.10
