Polythene bags must be banned!

Yes, there is an urgent need to ban polythene bags because they are destroying the environment more than anything. People are using polystyrene bags widely not only for carrying purpose but also for dumping waste.

Firstly, a polythene bag takes thousands of years to decompose fully into earth. Due to this piles of waste will be formed on earth. Also poor animals are the major victims of polyethene bags. Without knowing the harmful effects of plastic, they are taking in plastic bags with food which is very dangerous to the health of animals. Polyethene is harmful to mankind as well because food packed in polyethene bags may cause cancer. Government should choose an alternative to polyethene industries to set up an another industry.

Hi, guys.

Our topic is Polythene should be banned, so according to me, polythene should be banned because it not only affect the human being or it is also effect animals like if we talk about animals so they are not told to the human what is its problem. We are taking an example like (A cow is taking a polyethene so it is going to her stomach and polythene is not dissolve so it is only stays her stomach and it can make disease or might be it point of her death), so according to me, polythene should be banned.

Note:- you have to tell every shopkeeper to stop selling and giving polythenes.

Good bye.

Polythene is not only poisoning our environment, choking our pipe lines, gutter but one of the very very harmful effect is seen on our animals who eats plastic bags and slowly suffers from diseases and ultiately dies because of plastics.

I request all the people to avoid plastic bags and use cotton bags, paper bags, jute bags to save our environment and our animals. Also avoid using china products.

In my opinion, plastic bags are a slow poison to our environment, soil, animals etc. We should totally avoid use of plastic bags to save our coming generation. In grocery shops, vegetables shops, fruits shops uncountable shops, plastic bags are given. Why we take it please discourage plastic bags and make cotton bags for keeping vegetables, dals, onions, potatoes etc.

There should be very strong fines for selling, manufacturing, using plastic bags.

All are requested to avoid plastic bags.

Hello, guys.

Polythene bags must be banned because it has much loss of our environment. Polythene bags are eaten by animals it is not good for his health.

So we start to use paper bags and start to make environment pollution free.

Hi,

You have all mentioned below the disadvantages and the adverse effects that plastic bags cause to nature. Also, you've told how during recycling of plastics get stuck in the machine, how aquatic animals are getting endangered and so on. But you know I think banning plastic bags will negligibly prove to be effective since plastic is not only used to make just bags out of it, but almost every little thing which is the part and partial of our lives is made of plastic. Now you would say that banning would reduce its no. And the level of danger it causes to nature, but the production of plastic rather polythene never stops. Even if the polythene bags are banned, the plastic's production keeps on multiplying. Besides polythene bags, as you said to have are not porous so the liquids or food you carry does not leak, whereas paper bags would make these substances leakages and wastage. I wouldn't say paper bags shouldn't be introduced but polythene bags are helpful for it prevents leakages, provides strength to carry aqueous substances and solid items too. It only depends on how much we make use of it. If its use is restricted for some substances then it can help us a lot to carry liquids and help to save nature at the time.

A single plastic bag takes 1000 of years to decompose and analysing by the amount of plastic bags being used in the markets today we can imagine heaps of plastic bags getting deposited in the landfills on the outskirts of the city and thereby contributing more and more to land pollution. Plastic bags which escape garbage collection process end up in streams which even can lead them to see where they pose a greater risk to the life of marine animals. Leatherback sea turtles mistake these polythene bags for jellyfish and consume them which leads to their death by suffocation. Plastic bags are not even easy to be recycled into some new material because of the nature of the plastic used in its manufacture. Also, it gets stuck in the machinery of the recycling plants thereby causing the whole recycling plant to be stopped. Polythene bags' durability and non-porous nature make it the most convenient carry bag in the markets today, but the disadvantages are more as compared to this single advantage. So plastic bags should be replaced with bags made up of environment-friendly material, for ex-paper bags.

Yes, polythene bags should be banned. But in place of it may be paper bags, biodegradable polythene or something else if at a cheap rate easily available in the market surely people will stop using polythene. Otherwise, since they have not found something in place of polythene, all the rules and ban will go in vain. Some scientific research or product we need to replace polythene.

I think polythene bags shouldn't be banned! It's one of the few important things which help to carry substances like wet garbage, liquids etc. Even if alternatives to carry food and liquid are steel and aluminium vessels, they are too expensive than plastic. Many polythene bags are even recyclable and if treated with proper care can provide great help to carry things. Also due to its property of getting folded, after its use it can be stored for reuse whenever required.

Hai I'm Sachin.

Coming to our topic, we can't say that polythene bags must be banned totally since now a days it's a part of our life. Since it cause very harmful effects to environment and also to the living organisms including human beings, the usage can be reduced gradually and we must shift to paper or cotton bags. But all the time paper or cotton bag will not work, for example in case of rain or heavy load etc. So we can use polythene bags of good quality material such that it can be recycled. Recycling reduces the harmful effects of thaws products. But at the same time government should take a strong decision about materials used and facilities for recycling.
