Hello everybody, first of all, a very warm welcome to one and all reading my views, today we are discussing a very Serious topic that polythene bags should be banned.

In my opinion, polythene bags should be banned, because it is very harmful to us, not only for human beings but also for animals and nature. Because they are not decomposed easily in nature. Sometimes many animals eat these polythene bags, due to which they die. If we burnt it to decompose it, them it releases very harmful gases like SO2, CO2 and many more, which is extremely harmful to our environment.

Nowadays we are using lots of polythene bags daily, and throw the polythene anywhere, due to which our water drainage system gets chocked, that enhance the dirtiness in our surroundings and due to our this habit, our underground water is also get polluted.

We should think in this regards and try to use more and more carry bags, which is made of cloth or paper so that we reduce the use of polythene bags. We try also to follow the policy of RRR means - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. So should also try to spread awareness among the people so that we save the future of the new generation.

Thank you.

Hi Friends,

I don't agree that polythene should be banned. Yes, but I would appreciate if it will be produced in lesser quantity because it is actually affecting our environment badly. But solution starts when everyone has put a limitation to use any resource provided to us. I have seen that we have started using every resource badly which give such kind of results where we have to come with such strict restrictions.

I wanted to say that we should try to use less polythene and try to recycle it as much as we can. When I say recycle it means that we should use one polythene many times. I have seen a lot of people are purchasing polythene crazily. In super market, in mall everywhere. We don't carry any bag before we go shopping and when a seller asked us in the counter to add a carry bag for our items then we say yes without thinking twice just because it cost not more than Rs.5. But we never had a thought that it can cost our lives because we can't destroy or dispose of polythenes.

I would request to all the readers to recycle the use of polythene because it's not you who do this there are n numbers of people who do this.

According to the survey, India current population is 1,359, 892,158 and everyone is doing this on a daily basis. Because they purchase daily and to carry it, they need a carry bag, if this will continue then it will create a huge bad impact in the environment and every citizen of this earth will suffer alot. We are actually giving a very bad environment to our future generation.

We should stop the use polythene bags but we can't because if we stop then we would prefer for paper bags which leads to excessive deforestation cutting of trees will increase whereas we are facing the problem of global warming.

I would suggest that shopkeeper should use 'used newspaper ' for packing the items because I went to sikkim once and that state is polythene free because they use newspapers for packing the goods and after all there is no use of newspaper we do after one tym reading and we have to become more responsible by not throwing polythene here and there. We can't always asked government for action atleast our little support will help to make our country clean.

In my opinion, the problem can be completely stopped only if we remove from its roots. Laws and acts won't help until they come out from that papers. The government instead of passing laws or spending money to adverstise on banning plastic they should encourage establishing some companies to produce packages made of bio degradable polymers. PM took a brave decision like demonetization, he should think on this which is a more problem to our future generations!

If possible harmful plastic bags production should be stopped and by initially providing subsidies cloth/biopolymer bags industries should be opened. Saving our environment is saving our future generations. But even swatch Bharath banners are of plastic.

Change should start from everyone. Everyone should be responsible and serious about this.

In my opinion polythene bags shouldn't be banned, I agree to all the ones saying it is not biodegradable. But polythene bag is unique its properties are such that it can be reused, recycled. Our perspective on banning polythene bag is because people throw polythene bags recklessly in the environment, which causes lot of problem. But if we improve upon law and make rules strict, polythene bags are best, also much cheaper then other substitutes available for polythene bags.

Hello, Everyone.

Polythene bags must be banned!

We know that polythene is not good for environments as well any living things on the planet. The only way to stop the polythene bags usage that is to stop the whole manufacturing factoring and else working place where polythene makes. Along with help those peoples who want to stop the usage of polythene bags.

All Government patty said to not using the polythene bags why they never stop the factoring making those polythene bags. If that not possible then give the free papers bags to the whole shops to use it instead of polythene bags providing by government If they want people to stop the polythene bags usage or else low taxes sale on the papers bags that might be people's will start to using these types of bags.

Too much harmful the facking polythene bags. I think if government Focus on that things instead of election the might be peoples shop the usages of these type of bags.

Note: That's time will come soon, when we need skin coverage as will mask need to help survive on the planet. If Government Will not resolve the issue of this problem.

Hello friends,

My name is Manikant Kumar. I belong to Kaimur district in Bihar. I have completed my intermediate exam in 2018 from Shankar college Sasaram, now I am pursuing BSC math Hons.

THANK YOU.

Now come to the topic which has given to me. Today my topic is polythene bags must be banned. Nowadays polythene is used in very large quantity which is harmful to human being and nature also. When we use polythene we throw it anywhere, on burning these polythene bags bad effect on nature and cause different types of diseases. Polythene bags can not be disposed, on burning it also affect our environment and ozone layer also, which is a most important layer for a human being, we use a huge quantity of plastic in our daily life like as polythene bags, glass, bottle, bucket etc so and so.

In my view, polythene bags must be banned and we should use other bags in place of polythene. We should use a huge quantity of such things which is easily disposed of. Thank you.

According to my opinion, the polythene bags should be banned, because the polythene bags are a kind of non-biodegradable and non-recyclable material.

Although, it's considered to be a very useful and convenient thing in our day to day life to utilize the polythene bags. However, It is a major cause of pollution and also causes fatal to all the living beings.

People should educate and spread the awareness of reduction of plastics and can opt for alternatives like paper bags, clothes bags etc. Which are eco-friendly in nature.

In order to control the pollution, the government must take initiatives and efforts to keep the environment clean.

Everyone should take an effort to keep the environment clean pollution-free.

At last, I want to say, Avoid Polythene.

Polythene, the worse creation of human beings. It is the major cause of land pollution. It is a non-degradable substance. Due to the lack of decomposition, it remains as it is for a long period of time. Polybag is frequently used in the market, towns, and villages as it is cheap and having the strength to carry more loads. Disposal of polythene leads to major environmental problems. Many times stray animals eat polybag along with waste food and die.

Instead of polybag, people should use jute or cotton bag while carrying goods. The new technology should be developed to decrease the price of bio-degradable bags.

Hello,

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 increasing of 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 sometime 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 polythene 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.
