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.

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.

Yes, use of polythene must be banned because it is the one of the great cause of pollution. It's loss are as under.

1. It gives us many diseases in a rainy or other seasons.
2. Block drainage system of the city.
3. Animals die due to eating the polythene.
4. Chemical mixed in food during carrying the eatables food.
5. Expenditure of extra money on polythene.

Good steps.
1. Carry a bag during marketing.
2. Use paper bag in an emergency.

Please keep this earth safe for our future generations.

My good steps- I always like to carry a bag with me. If I have no bag during marketing then I used my hand, dicky of the vehicle to carry goods but say no to use polythene.

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.

Hi friends,

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.

Hi everyone.

In my point of view, polythene is one of the boons for our world. Why because 5 grams of polythene can carry 500grams of the load. And also it has long durable, waterproof characters. But the problem is, the people those who are all using polythene are not handling properly. They are all simply throwing outside of his campus. This activity creates soil pollution as well as water pollution. So people should know the principle of 3R. That means, (reduce, reuse, recycle). If everyone one follows this, then we will avoid pollution.

And also, I would like to tell, ban polythenes, where the people are not following the 3R principle.

Thank you.

Hi, Our today gd topic about" polythene bags must be banned". According to my opinion, Yes, it should be banned Because lt is very harmful for our environment. First of all, it is not recycled. After that if polythene bags burned, it creates A very harmful gas which effects our environment very badly. Even many of the animals like cow, dogs etc ate them which effect their digest system too. Now a days, government also taken many steps by imposing penalties on the people who are still using them like Retailer etc, Also we should promote jute bags to carry items which is save and also promote jute industry in India and ultimately helps in growth of GDP.

Hi I'm Jyothi.

As per my opinion, that govt should take responsibility of polythene.

In my point of view, it's our responsibility to minimize the usage of plastic or polythene. If we decrease the usage of polythene automatically the plastics will be banned. For example, nowadays 10 rs coin is not using anywhere and no one is accepting it in groceries and shops why because we are not using that coin same as if we stop using polythene bags automatically the plastic will be banned. I know that suddenly stopping the usage of plastics is difficult but we can try to do.

It is our responsibility to take care of our environment clean.

Thank you

Good morning all.

"Polythene should not be banned totally but partially !" means if polythene will ban totally then the use of paper will increase which results in the deforestation as we'll require wood for paper obviously our trees will get punished for being a "TREE"

So ban the polythene partially that means we can make some bags using "POLYTHENE" and "PAPER" as a combination in which not fully polythene are used (non-biodegradable waste) as well as not fully paper are used (responsible for deforestation)!

This can be done for future as it is more efficient and better way to manage both non-biodegradable wastes and deforestation!
