Polythene bags must be banned!

Good morning all, This is SWATHI.

According to my opinion, Yes, we have to ban polythene.The use of polythene plays a very important key role in our life like shopping and such like things.The global environment is getting polluted very harmful gases such as greenhouse gases are produced. The ozone layer is getting polluted. The water is getting contaminated and polluted. Much amount of plastic floats on water.The marine animals are dying we the humans eat sea foods and causes many diseases. So, we have to stop using polythene and use cotton bags.

Thank you.

Use of poly bags is very harmful to us.

It can create a very critical situation after some days when none of the soil remains fertile.

When we ask any person whether poly bags are good for us or bad they immediately say that it is bad but no one stops using that.

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.

As many of the people suggested in their views plastic must be banned. It is not necessary. Even though plastic is hazardous to environment. Its substitutes are more hazardous. Say paper bags. These are made from trees and then the wildlife will still be affected. Or say cotton bags. These are economically costly. The ban of plastic o's not necessary but the management of plastic is necessary.

Yes, banned ok but will be recycling polthene bags.

In my opinion, I don't think polythene bags should be banned. According to me it's not the polythene bags which are harmful to the environment but the lack of awareness among the people for disposing it properly and the poor management in the society which lead to harming the environment. If we generate awareness among the people for proper disposal of plastics into dustbins and then if these plastics are properly recycled then what's wrong with this. And we know how handy and easier it is to carry plastic bags and also economic and better alternative for lower class people.

Hi Guys,

We can not decide to see only one side each and everything has two faces to deal with and we do this. If we are calculating only minus points and after calculating one side we decide even something so it would not be useful for the society. Poly bags are common to use in the market and carrying goods withing it so it is very difficult to remove this habit from the fixed place but if we really wish to remove it so we can reduce it gradually in place of removing poly bags using some good ideas with it. Like we can use paper bags, cotton bags, a hick in a price of poly bags and there many more things to use in place of poly bags. If we are able to do these kinds of things so will not face any problem. We know that use of poly bags is very dangerous not only for human being but also all living things in the environment. Using poly bags and throw it carelessly stops the water flow and creates water logging problems etc.

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.

Hi Friends,

In my point of view, polythene bags are not be degraded easily. It takes more years to degrade a plastics. So we cannot save a rain water. Because we putting a plastics in the land, it can resist the water on it. So it cannot increases the ground water level, it leads to insufficient of drinking water.

Yes agree with that polythene bags must be banned, it is very harmful to our nature.
