Hooray for Plastic Stop Using Plastic

Answer 1

To properly categorize the statements into "Hooray for Plastic" or "Stop Using Plastic," we need to know the content of the two articles. However, since the statements are not provided, I can suggest some potential statements that would fit into each article based on common arguments for and against plastics.

For "Hooray for Plastic":

1. Plastics are lightweight and durable, making them ideal for packaging and transportation.
2. The production of plastics has created millions of jobs worldwide in various industries.
3. Innovations in plastic recycling technology can lead to sustainable practices.
4. Plastics can be designed to meet safety standards in food packaging, preventing contamination.
5. Many medical devices and supplies rely on plastics for their effectiveness and safety.

For "Stop Using Plastic":

1. Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine life and ecosystems.
2. Single-use plastics contribute to a growing waste crisis that is harmful to the environment.
3. Many plastics take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to long-term environmental damage.
4. Microplastics have been found in the food chain, posing potential health risks to humans.
5. Alternative materials, such as glass or biodegradable options, are more environmentally friendly.

Once you have the specific statements you want to categorize, you can drag or place them into the appropriate column.
