Hi everybody,

I want to say about polythene bag is used or not, In my opinion, polythene is not used because it is made by many dangerous matters, and after burning it harmful gases is produced those gases produce pollution in the environment and produce air pollution. We saw in near ours that animal such cows etc are used polythene for food it is very dangerous for health and it may cause of death. So polythene must be banned and use only paper beg, clothes beg these are not harmful and recyclable. So government Should do effort for this matter. And if everyone should not use polythene I would make sure everyone can live more two years or more extra.

If our environment has no pollution we can take pure air in respiration process.

We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.

Hi, Everyone.

For my side, I think polythene bags should be completely banned because there are various demerits of this. And only one merit ie we can carry the things we bought. So it can be replaced by jute bags and paper bags. It's good for our environment.

But use of polybag can be harmful in many ways.

When it burns it provides harmful ashes to the environment.

Many animals die because of eating polybags.

And it's non-biodegradable too.

Yes it should banned but before we have to invent that type of material which is similar to polythene. Like which should not wet in water and not easily crackable like paper. Then we should ban polythene. Otherwise their is no effect of banning it, because this is one of the most needable thing to people nowadays. Polythene is that material which cannot degradable or destroyed permanently it can only convert from one form to another. Which harms the environment and through this it is indirectly harming human beings. So it must be banned.

Polythene bag should be banned, its a good think for our nature, human beings as well as animals. Now a days water scarcity is a biggest problem in our country, if we put the polythene on the mud then its not allowing the water to going inside of the ground so it ultimately decrease the ground water.

Hi everybody,

I think plastic bags should not be banned because nowadays it becomes our daily uses material. Also there are a lot of people get employed in plastic industry, if it would be completely banned the the would be unemployed. Plastic bags are also cheaper than other carrying material. Also there are many kind of products, we can not carry that without plastic material or we don't have alternative, for examples medicine some other FMCG products.

There are many negative impact of using plastic bags, like it is non-biodegradable, creating more water and soil pollution, toxic chemicals are used to manufacture and emitting different kind of non environment friendly gases while burning, which creates air pollution and make impacts on Ozone layer.

Conclusion:- Instead of completely ban of plastic bags or materials we can use the concept of 4 R, which is recycle reuse, reduce and recover. Instead of taking millions of job we can provide millions of job. They will work on this four principal and educate the people, with the help of this we can create unemployment and stop all this negative impacts. There are many countries like US they are using vastly the plastic materials but using as well these four principal. Our government should also take such kind of step, which will also help to the swachh Bharat mission.

Hello everyone, no polythene bag may not be banned because many people are employed in industries for making plastic bags. If we banned it they will be unemployed. Although this is one of big issue but if we banned plastic bag then paper bags comes for that we require lot of wood so off course deforestation arises. I think rather than completely ban of plastic it should be partial. We have to use 4 R rule that is very helpful. Yes polythene is non biodegradable. But if we use it properly and throw in suitable place it will becomes good for us. Today everyone says it should be banned but it is not implemented in real life.

Since the dawn of our civilisation, man has a developed a number of tools and implements to make his life easy on planet earth. One such useful invention is that of plastic and to be more specific that of polythene bags. The invention of plastic has evolved the whole outlook of industrial output.

Though the use of plastic and polythene bags has become a part and parcel of our day to day life, yet we cannot ignore the ill effects of it. Besides the various environmental issues which such products pose, there are various health issues involved which cannot be overlooked.

Therefore such bags should be banned completely. It will be difficult to get rid of it initially but in order to discontinue its use, some alternative remedy by way of environmental friendly bags should be invested.

Moreover governmental agencies and NGO's can work a great deal in spreading awareness about the harmful effects of poly-bags and should encourage people to switch to environmental friendly bags. In order to maintain ecological balance such steps should be taken fast.
