Polythene bags must be banned!

Greetings to all,

As per the topic, polythene should must be banned. According to me, it must be banned as soon as possible. Our government should make a very strict rule on the consumption of polythene. And one more thing I want to add here is, people should also aware about how polythene is unbalancing our environment. Not Only government will focus on it people should also understand about it. Advertisement company should make an ad on the consumption of polythene like we see on Cancer. Two days ago I read in newspaper that Bengaluru announced a complete ban (gazette notification) that polyethylene bags is not allowed in any shops except plastic for export, packaging materials for use in forestry, milk packets and hospitals.

Hello dear friends.

I am glad to speak about today's topic "Polythene bag must be banned".

As we know polythene bag is very dangerous for environment and for the animal also friends in our India day by day polythene as well as garbage, is increasing friends is polythene bag is helpful to keep safe environment? Friends suppose we are using polythene this is very dangerous to our health also. Friends do you know how much time takes polythene bag to decomposes in the soil polythene bag takes time a lot to decompose in the soil polythene bag takes 1000 years to take decompose in the soil friends this time period is very long we have to use cotton bag, paper bag it is not possible to set fire on polythene bag they will create lot of air pollution this is not affordable for our health and friends government didn't take to action on this topic but we should start to use cotton is bag is correct but we can't use polythene bag friends we have to use lot of time polythene bag whenever we go to buy fruits, vegetables don't give with us please give me a polythene bag we should purchase cotton bag they will help you lot of time such like as a whenever you buy vegetable, grocery, fruits cotton bag is helpful for that time some time we have to avoid to throw polythene bag on open space some animals eat polythene bag we are human being we have all information about what is the good or what is the bad but animals don't have mind because they eat polythene bag and after some days animal die and friends we have to avoid that to use polythene bag if we are continuously using polythene bag our next generation is also follow this type of habit government how to manage that things our mind set is today we are using polythene but we argue on government start form yourself one day it will be done and this is right time to ban on polythene bag thanks a lot you are reading this message once again thanks a lot.

I will definitely use cotton bag whenever I go to buy somethings.

Good evening, everyone, this is Divya and my conclusion is that polythene bags must should be bannned.

As we know that polythene bags must be banned because it is creat pollution and it is not good for health if we not use polythene so automatically the polythene will be banned I know that is is not stop suddenly but we can try FIRST WE NEED TO CHANGE OURSELVES THEM ONLY WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD if we bring something on polybags and after that we can throw the polythene outside than the animals are came and eat the polythene. Eat and die.

Thank you.

It is necessary for banning polythene bags because our environment is polluting day by day. So the government had taken the right decision by banning the polythene bag. The shopkeepers also think about it. They should not give the polythene bag to the seller.

Thanks.

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.

Yes. Plastic bag must be banned. As it is non-biodegradable and has a huge impact on pollution particularly land pollution. Plastic bags require near about 1000years to decompose so it leads to severe problem towards mankind and to animals also.

Various problems like;

Land pollution.
Skin related problem.
Death of animal and so on.

So, I think that is the duty of every citizen to minimize the use of polythene bags, also we should educate and spread awareness regarding the use of polythene bags.

The Government should also make some stringent rule and laws to so that there should be the minimum use of polythene bags and make our country clean and pollution free. Thank you.

Good morning sir & very good morning to all of you, my name is Amit.

So we all are here setting together to discuss the topic as given by the management,

Sir, I agreed with the others point but I wanted to add some of my thoughts in this topic, a/c to me plastic bag should not be banned, if need to banned then it should be our usage style, in daily life people after using of polythene bags they just throw up anywhere as a result 100% polythenes not reached their recycling process, many of friends are talking about the use of paper bag instead of polythene bag but everyone should have to know paper is made by tree and for paper if we start cutting tree that will be more dangerous for the human being, so according to me instead of changing our system firstly we should have to bring change in our usage habits, if plastic bags not burnt-out in atmosphere, not thrown everywhere then it can be 100% recycled every time and that will save our resources also.

Thank you.

Have a nice day to all of you.

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.

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.

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.
