Polythene bags are effect to the wild life. If the cow is swallowed the polythene bags it cannot digest and it will die.

Polythene bags cannot recycle.

Where ever the polythene bags thrown there will not grow any plants.

Polythene bags are effect to the Environment.

These make the street dirty because flying the bags in the air.

I see everyone saying the same thing kept in a different perspective.

I feel banning polythene bags isn't the right choice to make.my points are,
1. A poor vendor in a market won't be able to sell his goods in paper bags(rs 5 per piece at least talking of which he would get at least some 10-20 covers of plastic).
2. Moreover, if we start using paper bags, there will be new industries set up to make them and this leads to deforestation.
3. We can still use polythene bags that are above 40 microns so they are not digested in the animals and they come out of the digestive system as it is.
4. I feel we must use some sort of essence that will make animals not to eat the plastic bag.
5. The best way to act against plastic would be to recycle and reuse the ALREADY existing plastic.
6. And the best way to use plastic is to make plastic covers or use them in laying roads.

THANKS.

In my opinion polythene bags should be banned as if we throw it on the road and any animal eats it, it would surely die and it's not eco-friendly also. Polythene bags also throw harmful gases which are injurious to health. I advise you all to use paper bags instead of polythene bags.

Yes, polythene bags should be banned because this is signs of pollution. Also, they do not decay easily. Whereas paper bags can be decayed easily. If polythene bags are fired they produce harmful gases which are very dangerous for health too.

As my point of view, First, we should avoid polythene bags outside. I think mostly polythene bags are spreading from a small shop. So, we should take cloth bags when we going to buy things in the small shop. This simple step when we follow at least 10-15% of polythene bags usage will be reduced.

Hello, friends.

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

1. They are harmful to both animals and environment.
2. Animals eat these polythene bags and cannot digest them and ultimately die.
3. These polythene bags are non bio- degradable hence they do not decompose.
4. Burning these polythene bags causes air pollution and many other environmental and health hazards.
5. There are many alternatives available. We can go for them like jute bags, paper bags etc. These are decomposable n do not pollute the environment.

Hai guys!

The problems arise with Polythene bags is:.

1. It decreases the underground water levels because the used bags forms a layer on the earth surface.

2. These bags are very harmful to the animals.

As they ate the eatables with polythene covers.

Polythene covers also sometimes may useful for us in different ways like, while preserving the vegetables, fruits etc.

So, here my point is we need take strict measures on the usage of polythene bags but, we can't completely ban them.

Hi friends this is Vali.

Well, a plastic bag is made up of polyethylene which is a non-renewable source. As it takes more than 100 years to degrade a normal polythene bag which is made up of 40microns our government has made a rule that all plastic bags should be made below 30microns but due its thickness as a major problem which not suitable to carry more than 5kg our govt had again changed the limit of microns from 30 to 40. When we talk about his advantages it was mainly used to carry something and to keep dry & fresh on the other side of the coin it has a large number of disadvantages like.

1. It becomes as a hanging rope to animals those who swallow it along with grass.

2. A variety of marine life has vanished due to the dumping of plastic bags in oceans which do not allow to mix oxygen with water.

3. The percentage of greenhouse gas has been increasing from our day to day life.

If we continue the way we using plastic there will deficiency of oxygen levels for our future generations.

So by comparing all aspects, it is better to ban the usage of plastic instead we have to increase the usage of paper bags in the place of plastic bags.

THANK You.
