Hi everyone

The use of polythene has been a great issue these days.
In my opinion, use of polythene should be banned because it has only one merit but has n number of demerits. Before some days there was a news regarding the death of cows which is due to eating of these polythenes.
And another main reason is that when the polythenes are thrown away, it makes the soil very difficult to absorb the water, as a result the level of water is reducing tremendously.

Nowadays paper bags are available everywhere, so we can use it plentily as it is eco-friendly and has no harmful effects on humans.

And if we use polythene, we should follow the 4R principle I.e., Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Recover.

According to me, I don't think polyethylene bags should be banned. It helps to carry many things. It is a very useful thing which we need in our daily lives. Starting from dresses to foods to medicine each and everything is carried in polyethylene bags. Also, many people are employed in polythene making industry so it would be difficult for them to live their lives if it is banned. As polythene bag causes pollution and harmful to the environment to a certain extent so it must be recycled and transformed into a bag which is environment-friendly.

Hello,

According to my opinion, I think polythene bags should not be banned. As it is very easy to carry. Nowadays 80% of the products are made up of polythene. So the end of polythene means the end of polythene products as well as bags which affects the company's productivity. It will not have any effect on its economic value but also will result in increasing of unemployment in the country.

So if any country has decided to ban the polythene then first it must provide its suitable replacement. The replacement which will provide the same solutions to the people and well as gives its better contribution towards the development of the country and to reduce the pollution.

Here if we move towards the use of paper bags instead of polythene bags, then after sometime we will suffer from many environmental problems because cutting of trees for paper leads to deforestation which leads to soil erosion. So paper bags are not a suitable replacement for it because we don't want a solution for some time. We actually need a permanent solution of it.

I think the use of polythene bags should not be banned. Instead of it, we should try to find a solution to reusing it. Recycling of polythene doesn't lead to any environmental problems as well as easy to carry.

First, we need to change ourselves them only we can Change the world.

According to the survey, India has a huge market of plastic products. But I will take a concern about our health. As you know that polythene or plastic produces harmful gases when burn which may be a bigger issue nowadays because the toxic gases of polythene may cause respiratory problem. So my advice to the research team of India to produce the polyethene bags which can be bio-degradable. So that the industry will not get down and the problem of healthcare will also resolve. So don't banned the plastic products as because it's can create the problem to Poor's people who get the meal by selling the plastic products.

Hi all,

Of course, we must ban the use of polythene bags, in fact, every polythene made products. These days polythine products are being used to make most of our daily usable products like water bottles, bags, glass, plates, buckets and so and so. Endless lists and just suppose how much poisonous gases are produced during making of all these. Not only in India but polythene use must be banned all over the world. Instead we should use jute and Cotton made bags that will bring opportunity for poor farmers to grow jute and cotton in their land for earnings as these plants don't need so much care for their growth.

If we want to save our upcoming generations from repercussions of polythene products then its very high time to ban this otherwise we will be too late.

Hi everyone.

In my point of view, polythene is one of the boons for our world. Why because 5 grams of polythene can carry 500grams of the load. And also it has long durable, waterproof characters. But the problem is, the people those who are all using polythene are not handling properly. They are all simply throwing outside of his campus. This activity creates soil pollution as well as water pollution. So people should know the principle of 3R. That means, (reduce, reuse, recycle). If everyone one follows this, then we will avoid pollution.

And also, I would like to tell, ban polythenes, where the people are not following the 3R principle.

Thank you.

Hi,

Yeah, plastic is harmful to the society. But if we know the correct use of plastic it is very helpful. Nowadays for every store, restaurant it has become an essential element and playing a crucial role and due to the usage of plastic in the higher end made the problem for atmosphere. If we start using the jute bags can be very useful for the environment and we can decrease the usage of plastic.

Well, I'm in favour of banning polythene bags as.

* They are non-biodegradable hence they don't decompose and cause land pollution.
* Burning these polythene bags cause harmful smoke which effects the wildlife and cause air pollution.
* Many animals eat these polythene bags and they died as they can't digest.
* Instead of polythene bags we can use jute bags and paper bags which are eco-friendly for nature.

Polythene bag must be banned because it can not decompose easily. We are using polythene very much as compared to a paper bag. Because of polythene many life's have gone. So, why we can't avoid polythene for our life. At last, I want to say that avoid polythene, please.
