The contemporary environment if polluted by the plastic containers which are not properly disposed of. The Billions of shopping plastic bags are used Universal every year. Business people and organization give out for free as a service to customers. However, they have an enormous environmental cost. This essay will focus majorly on the negative impact of plastic bags, on the terrestrial animals especially camel.
A camel is a desert animal which has insufficient water all times. In the animal’s body, water is a vital content in which, enables in the breakdown and in digestion of food substances. However, when an animal eats food with the presence of chemicals, which might cause digest harm, water then dilute and reduce toxic degree in the body (Hutchinson & Langeland, 2011). Since camels do not take water regularly, when it happens to eat a plastic paper bags with some chemicals, it eventually dies as no water to enable it to dissolve such chemicals.

For instance, in the United Arab Emirates, the Minister of Environment declared a half of the reported dead camels, at Falaj Mualla were caused by the plastic bags (Kadim, Al-Maqbaly, Mansour, Mahgoub & Johnson, 2011). This is because, after taking them as a snack, a camel it generally suffocates when it hardened in the massive stomachs. The camels then extensively decompose, while the plastic papers in the stomach do not decompose (Duan, Cheng, Wang, & Shi, 2011). The camels are attracted to plastic bags not only that, they are t adventurous eaters, but because the plastic bags usually retain a good smell of food.
Desert animals should be therefore, protected by having laws that keep off people from dumping any plastic materials in the desert. Instead, they should assemble them in at a central place and burn or recycle them for other uses. This will keep terrestrial animals such as camel safe.
