Climate change is the greatest threat to coral reefs worldwide. Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, where corals lose the symbiotic algae they depend on for energy, often leading to mass coral death. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere also makes oceans more acidic, weakening coral skeletons and slowing reef growth. Repeated marine heatwaves leave little time for recovery, pushing coral reefs toward collapse. Scientists warn that without rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, most coral reefs could disappear within this century, triggering widespread disruption of marine ecosystem.
India generates 62+ million tonnes of waste every year, including 9–10 million tonnes of plastic waste. Only 25–30% of plastic is recycled. The rest is dumped, burned, or leaks into rivers and oceans.
Plastic does not biodegrade. It only breaks into microplastics, polluting soil, water, air, food, and even human bodies. Open burning releases toxic gases that harm health and the climate. The world’s first synthetic plastic, Bakelite (1907), still hasn’t degraded — showing how long plastic can last in nature.
