Abstract:- We all know that Plastic is the biggest threat to this planet Earth. Yet this grave issue is not taken seriously by the public. In India alone, 3.5 million tons of plastic wastes are getting generated every year.4 According to a report of 2021, in India, plastic waste generation has increased almost more than double in the last 5 years.1 Waste production of plastic is increasing every year at the rate of 21.8%. Not only in India, the conditions have become severe all around the world. According to IUCN Report, the whole world is producing 300 million tons of plastic waste, of which above 14 million tons of plastic waste is going in the ocean.3 So, there is a very strict need to control the use of plastic and to minimize its use until it is utmost necessary. The present paper deals with this menace in brief and also sheds light on the efforts going on in National, International, Individual and community level to fight this menace.
