Polythene bags must be banned!

In my opinion a ban on polythene bags is the need of the hour. For a country like India which ranks 180 among 180 countries in terms of Environmental Pollution Index (EPI), it becomes essential at this point to take such effective measures and ensure that people follow it seriously. Polythene is a non-disposable and non-biodegradable plastic, which not only harms the environment we live in, but various animals graze over food in polythene bags and might ingest whole or a part of that polythene. This may cause them to choke.

Yes, the government must ban polythene bags.

Polythene bags are non-bio degradable hence it leads to soil erosion.

Instead of polythene bags, we need to use cloth bags, conducting some roadshows and seminars on this and by bringing awareness among people.

We can reduce the use of polythene bags.

Among all countries china is in the first position to damage marine life by dumping wastes in the seas and oceans, the china government has taken the decision that. : "they announced that 5 small bottles=2big bottles=10 polythene bags=one bus ticket "by this method they are trying to reduce plastic waste.

If the Indian government introduce not only the polythene bags but also the garbage is cleaned up.

In my opinion plastic pollution. Plastics is a non disposable and non biodegradable plastic. We should avoid polythene bag. It is very harmful to our environment. Many animals also died. When plastic is burned it produces many harmful gases. Use only paper bags in market and shops. So l m requesting you all not use polythene bags.

Hello everyone.

A lot of animals are eating polyester. When we eat ocean fishes. We are indirectly eating polyester many problems are generated by polythene. Waste polythene is mixing in the ocean and created problems. So, it's necessary to ban.

According to me polythene should banned because through polythene it affects many things like animals eat that, it goes into the rivers, seas which affect the water animals, and it also damage the farming land where polythene is that place is dead and there you cannot grow plant.

Yes, polythene bags are must to banned in present days. Because of, it is a non-bio degradable material. It can leads to soil erosion. Most of the animals are eating the plastic. They are died. Most of the plastic is mingle in solid, it can leads to stop growing of plants. In oceans, seas, other are polluted by the plastic material. We are eating the ocean food like fishes, frank etc. Then automatically we also eat the plastic indirectly. We use in the place of plastic we can use paper material things and also cloth material. It can reduce the soil erosion and save the nature. It was totally depends on the usage of us.

While coming to polythene bag it comes to 2 aspects firstly environmental and secondly industrial. Coming to the environmental point of view plastic is nonbiodegradable and causes pollution but from an industrial point of view if polythene bag is banned it will affect the petrochemical industry the most and it will also affect the small industry which is dependent on plastic for there business. This without banning plastic bag we can follow 3R policies i.e. Reduce (we should try to reduce plastic and use alternative form like paper bag) next Reuse (we should not do single use of plastic but multiple-use as it to reduce amount of pollution) and the lastly Recycle (we should try to recycle plastic like we know that plastic, when mixed with road pitch, increases the road quality by 10 times.

Currently, I read in the newspaper that plastic is used for oil production. Thus we should look at various ways of recycling plastic not on banning plastic as it is not going to solve the problem of plastic.

Before banning government or agencies concerned should come up with alternatives. It is a step by step process.

For my side, I think polythene bags should be completely banned because there are various demerits of this. And only one merit ie we can carry the things we bought. So it can be replaced by jute bags and paper bags. It's good for our environment.

But use of polybag can be harmful in many ways.

When it burns it provides harmful ashes to the environment.

Many animals die because of eating polybags.

And it's non-biodegradable too.

I think there should be a complete ban on using of plastic bags because plastic bags are one of the most destructive material for our environment as it takes thousands of years to decompose. Plastic bag can be replaced by many other alternatives such as jute and cloth bags. Plastic bags create a large amount of waste.
