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.

Hello everyone, no polythene bag may not be banned because many people are employed in industries for making plastic bags. If we banned it they will be unemployed. Although this is one of big issue but if we banned plastic bag then paper bags comes for that we require lot of wood so off course deforestation arises. I think rather than completely ban of plastic it should be partial. We have to use 4 R rule that is very helpful. Yes polythene is non biodegradable. But if we use it properly and throw in suitable place it will becomes good for us. Today everyone says it should be banned but it is not implemented in real life.

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.

Polythene bags must be banned. It is an hazard to the environment. It not only pollutes the environment but also effects our health. Using polythene bags not only causes air, water and soil pollution but also affects living beings a lot directly or indirectly. It affects stray animals who eat these polythene bags lying on the road. When it is burned it causes air pollution which leads to breathing problems and many more. Polythene can't be easily decayed and hence it remains in the environment for long time and affects the health of living beings. Thus polythene bags must be banned and paper bags must be used instead.

According to the survey, India has a huge market of plastic products. But I will take a concern about our health. As you know that polythene or plastic produces harmful gases when burn which may be a bigger issue nowadays because the toxic gases of polythene may cause respiratory problem. So my advice to the research team of India to produce the polyethene bags which can be bio-degradable. So that the industry will not get down and the problem of healthcare will also resolve. So don't banned the plastic products as because it's can create the problem to Poor's people who get the meal by selling the plastic products.

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.

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.

Hello everyone today our topic is polythene bag must be banned.

In my opinion, it should be banned there are many reasons behind it and some of them I want to clarify. As we all know that polythene is a non-disposal thing and it exists thousands year. And if be burn it in the air it produces harmful gases which can affect our health like it can because of different types of cancer. And if animals eat the polythene it can harm them. So it should be banned. And there are many alternatives of polythene as we can use cotton bags. So if we are having it's alternative so why we are using it. That's all from me.

Hi everyone,

Yes, polyethene bags should definitely be banned. It is causing a huge threat to the environment and the animals present in our environment. Plastics are nonbiodegradable and it takes 1000 years to decompose. It reases a large amount of toxic gases if burnt. It might lead to the death of various animals like cows and goats, when they chew them it chokes their respiratory system. It even makes the soil infertile by killing essential microorganisms thus disturbing the food chains. Instead of polyetehe bags, I believe paper bags or jute bags or other bio degradable bags can be used. Thank you.

According to my point of view, polyethene bags must be banned because those bags are very harmful to our humans.

Nowadays we can see any were this polyethene bags are using more and those bags will through it out.

Some animals like cow goat etc eat that polythene bags so it will cause harmful diseases like cancer so don't through the polythene bags on the outside through it in the dustbin.

So keep our city clean and green.

When we through the polythene in dustbin the municipality will take the those used polythene bags will send to dumping yard. So don't use polythene bags and save the environment.
