Polythene bags create such a pollution that is not created by a harmful chemical also. As it does not degrade or decompose in soil.

Hi friends,

As per my opinion, we should use polythene bags properly. We should not throw polythene bags here and there after using it. We should use polythene bags as much as possible to use. Polythene bags should use very carefully because if we ban the polythene bags then we have to use paper bags and it will cause deforestation in the environment.

The government should take strike action about it, but not only government shutdown do this we are also the members of the society so it is our duty to ki our surroundings clean and healthy.

At last, we should avoid plastic as much as we can do. And if are using polythene bags then we should carefully while using.

Polythene Should not be banned, even government should have applied the hard penalty to everyone who provided polythene to customers. Because as for my opinion in India nobody really Want to understand anything instead of their profits when we put such steps like penalties and hard sentences then polyethene would have removed itself probably.

Hi friends as per my opinion, before banning the polythene bag we should find the replacement of polythene bag so that there is no difficulty for the common man. And government should well awareness program about the plastic ban. And rather than banning the plastic bag we can gradually decrease the use of it so that we get control over it.

According to my point of view, polyethene bags must be banned because those bags are very harmful to our humans.

Nowadays we can see any were this polyethene bags are using more and those bags will through it out.

Some animals like cow goat etc eat that polythene bags so it will cause harmful diseases like cancer so don't through the polythene bags on the outside through it in the dustbin.

So keep our city clean and green.

When we through the polythene in dustbin the municipality will take the those used polythene bags will send to dumping yard. So don't use polythene bags and save the environment.

In my opinion, polyethene bags usage must be reduced in a systematic manner and the rules for regulating the use of polyethene bags must get stricter each and every month and people should be made aware of these rules and regulations in advance so that the transition to paper bags or other cloth bags becomes smoother and majority of plastic goes for recycling rather than in a dustbin.

Government should also create laws for using only certain type of plastics where you cannot replace it with any other material and shop owners must apply for permission to use it in a certain manner while obeying the laws made for disposal and recycling.

Plastic bags pollute our land and water. Because they are so lightweight, plastic bags can travel long distances by wind and water. They litter our landscapes, get caught in fences and trees, float around in waterways, and can eventually make their way into the worlds oceans.

Plastic bags are made from non-renewable resources and contribute to climate change. The majority of plastic bags are made of polypropylene, a material that is made from petroleum and natural gas. Both of these materials are non-renewable fossil fuel-based resources and through their extraction and production, they create greenhouse gases, which contribute to global climate change.

The production of these bags is also very energy intensive. To produce nine plastic bags, it takes the equivalent energy to drive a car one kilometre (more than 0.5 miles).

Using these non-renewable resources to make plastic bags is very short-sighted, considering that the typical useful life of each plastic bag is about 12 minutes.

Plastic bags never break down. Petroleum-based plastic bags do not truly degrade. What does occur is that when out in the environment, the plastic breaks up into tiny little pieces that end up in the ocean to be consumed by wildlife. Today, there are an estimated 46, 000-1, 000, 000 plastic fragments floating within every square mile of our worlds oceans. Other governments are banning plastic bags, so yours should too or at least make people pay for them. To date, more than 40 countries and municipalities around the world have instituted plastic bag bans. The United Nations Environmental Programme Secretariat has recommended a ban on all plastic bags globally.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view, polythene bags should be banned. These bags are made up of oil. The benefit is an easy way to carry everywhere and also everyone wishes to get the bags.

But these bags are very dangerous to our day to day life. It may cause us cancer. The usage of bags harming the animals also. All of them should realize that we have to limit the usage of plastic bags. We are throwing everywhere after using it. It is the main cause to make our environment to pollute. They can't decompose easily. So that everyone should carry bags when we go outside. If we so that the half of the bags are reduced in usage. We have to use the plastic bags after reusing it.

"Limitation of using plastic bags.
Carry a bag with you everywhere.
Polythene bags were banned".

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 increased 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 some time 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 polyethene 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.
