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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
