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.

Indeed! We all support afforestation without any hesitation, even though we haven't planted a sapling. However, we at least by now have come to the consciousness of planting and growing trees. Simultaneously, we should also remember to protect them too.

Plastics can be highly beneficial and seem user-friendly! Sadly, they are actually not!

The toxic substance they emit when they come in contact with heat can cause unimaginable spoils to the soil where the trees are. The simple logic of plastic, that it doesn't allow the leakage to happen can be the regretted fact when it is under the soil. It doesn't allow any leakage to happen be it the raindrops or any such.

OK! Even if we all get into the track and STRICTLY OBEY TO THROW THE GARBAGE ONLY IN DUSTBINS, and plastics are separated from the degradable wastes and sent for recycling.

Once again, the whole lot process will happen to make that piece of evil work for us again in the nothing but same way.

For that to be recycled again a lot of resources would be employed, the waste liquid from the process causes water pollution, the smoke/gas from the process causes air pollution and keeps us drenched in the poisonous atmosphere forever.

This, it's better to give up plastics rather to give up ourselves! Think for yourself.

Thank you!

By banning the plastic bags and adopting safer alternatives like biodegradable bags & bins, you can save the environment. Plastic is responsible for the release of many toxic chemicals into the soil and water. Plastic bags often end up eaten by the animals and clogs their digestive system ultimately leading to death.

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.

In my opinion, polythene bags should be banned. Because it is non-biodegradabke material.

But. If the polythene bags are banned.

India has to face many problems. Like;

1- In India, most of the people are directly and indirectly depend on the poly bags. Like in storing vegetables, Snacks or in shopping also.

2- If the government totally banned the poly bags then we don't have much jute or other biodegradable things to overcome the needs of poly bags.

But the correct use of polythene bags to recycle is to use it in road making.

As we know it is not be decomposed.

And in road making, it will help a lot.

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.

As per my opinion, we should use polythene bags properly. We should not throw polythene bags here and there after using it. We should use polythene bags as much as possible to use. Polythene bags should use very carefully because if we ban the polythene bags then we have to use paper bags and it will cause deforestation in the environment.

The government should take strike action about it, but not only government shutdown do this we are also the members of the society so it is our duty to ki our surroundings clean and healthy.

At last, we should avoid plastic as much as we can do. And if are using polythene bags then we should carefully while using.

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 increased 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 some time 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 polyethene 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.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view, polythene bags should be banned. These bags are made up of oil. The benefit is an easy way to carry everywhere and also everyone wishes to get the bags.

But these bags are very dangerous to our day to day life. It may cause us cancer. The usage of bags harming the animals also. All of them should realize that we have to limit the usage of plastic bags. We are throwing everywhere after using it. It is the main cause to make our environment to pollute. They can't decompose easily. So that everyone should carry bags when we go outside. If we so that the half of the bags are reduced in usage. We have to use the plastic bags after reusing it.

"Limitation of using plastic bags.
Carry a bag with you everywhere.
Polythene bags were banned".
