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.

Hello friends.

According to my opinion, polythene bags should be banned because polythene is harmful in many ways such as.

1) When polythene is burned it produces many harmful gases which cause air pollution and when we breathe, it affects our respiratory system.

2) polythene is non-biodegradable. It takes many years in degradation which causes soil pollution and result is that fertility of the soil is decreased.

3) Many peoples after using polythene they throw it and when these polythene bags consumed or eat by the animal such as cow, dog. It causes cancer.

4) if we recycle polythene it requires a lot of money.

At last but not the least, I suggested that we have to replace polythene bags with the reusable bags such as jute bags.

Thanks.

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.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, It should not be completely banned. If paper bags are not available then polythene bags can be use. It can be use for multiple times.

Everywhere we are paying for bags in malls, shops etc. Instead of that, we can ask for a paper bag because we are paying for that.

People should not throw polythene bag outside on roads. I saw cows were eating that bags because that they may get choke and can die. At least we should take care of these things.

Definitely, we should recycle it since it's non-degradable material.

No, I completely disagree with the ban of polythene bags as it is us who are not focusing on bringing awareness in the society. When proper recycling is done, the environment can stay healthy. It is us who is polluting the environment without giving a second thought. So it is necessary for the authoritative departments to take action on recycling rather than a ban on the product.

Polythene bags must be banned as they cause harm to the environment. It is better to use paper bags, or jute bags instead of polythene. Polythene is a non-biodegradable waste and takes thousands of years to be degraded. The government should also take suitable measures towards this cause.

No, There is no need to ban polythene bags. It is us who have made it excessive use. We have 120 crores more people which is excess to our country but still, we have not put up a word to ban marriage. Only thing is we are not recycling the plastic bags properly. So we have to restrict the use not to ban.

Polythene bags cause to cancer. Use only paper bags in markets and shops. The Ploythene bags prepared by harmful chemicals. In summer polythene bags will melt because of heavy sun risers. Polythene bags prepare out of the city because of the chemicals harmful to human beings and animals etc.

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.

Polythene bag must be banned because it is harmful our nature. After burning of plastic bag the harmful gases from plastic spread in nature due to which people are facing dises or cancer. So we should have tried to recycling process for plastic search. Also government should be create strong rule against plastic user and they should provided paper bag to the public. In this way we can solved the environment issue and minimise the climate change. So, according to me, plastic bag must be banned. Thank you.
