Abstract

Environment as also civilization are threatened by environmental pollution. There are different types of pollution in the world and one of them is plastic pollution. Plastic pollution increases in geometric rate and now it is a big challenge for civilization. Plastic is cheap, easily applicable, every where available, easy to use, easy to expel, so it is popular. But plastic pollution is very harmful to the environment. In this situation awareness towards plastic pollution is an important issue. If we have some awareness then the part of the problem may be reduced. If we do not aware in right time then in future the plastic totally engulf the human civilization and then we have no way to escape from the problem. If future generations are aware about plastic pollution then the problem somehow will reduce in future. So researcher in his study tries to find out how much students are aware about plastic pollution. The researcher conducted the study on 119 school students among them 67 secondary and 52 higher secondary. From the result researcher found that higher secondary student are more aware towards plastic pollution. There have no such difference in awareness between boys and girls towards plastic pollution. Academic achievement has no significant influence in awareness towards plastic pollution of students.
