the impact is that the plastic bags go to the landfill which makes the environment dirty and smelly and that if the plastic bags get burned it will pollute the air.
If the plastic bags got burnt it makes air pollution..
It hurts the environment when its burned the harmeful chemincals go into the air and polute it.
Plastic Bags effect the environment in a BIG way! They kill native wildlife like turtles for they think there jellyfish. The also clog up our drains and pollute our oceans and other water supplies.

Plastic bags are nonbiodegradable so they pollute the environment by entering the food chain. The chemicals used in this either mix with the soil or are eaten by animals and accumulate in the food chain so that predators can be killed.
Paper bags break down quickly and easily in landfill into the wood fiber that they are made from. However, wood fiber is not much use in landfill (in gardens it would be a valuable addition to the soil). It would be much better if clean paper bags were recycled to make new paper and cardboard.
It takes over one thousand years for plastic to break down, this is one of the reasons that they are bad for the enviroment. There are also a health hazard to animals because they sometimes swallow them or get tangled in it.
Trees are chopped down to make them, destroying forests.
Of course, the pollution of plastic bags are damaging to the environment. That's why people tell you to use reusable bags and paper bags!
they dont decompose for around 500 years and can choke wildlife.
Yes, because it is harmful to our environment.. :)
Making a paper bag uses about twice as much oil as making a plastic bag.
Plastic bags are cheaper and I do believe, easier to make as compared to paper bags.
Plastic bags are created from fossil fuels, specifically from refined crude oil. They are not biodegradable, so once created they pretty much hang around in the environment breaking into smaller and smaller pieces but never actually being broken down and reused. They are also often found as litter along roadsides and are a major problem in the world's oceans.wrong u out Incidentally, paper bags aren't much better - they are made by cutting down trees. They can be recycled in some areas, but this is relatively uncommon and most people just throw the paper bags away too. A more environmentally friendly option is to use old cloth bags instead - you can bring them to the store with you and use them thousands of times. They can be washed periodically to keep them clean, and when they are completely worn out they are often made of cotton so they will biodegrade.
grow more trees. say no to poly bags. save water. do not waste paper. reduce...reuse...recycle...
Paper brown grocery bags are argued to be better for the environment as they are biodegradable wheras some plastic bags can last decades and potentially harm wildlife.
paper bags any bag made of recyclable material
aviod plastic use paper bags
Using paper lunch bags helps the environment much much more than using a plastic bag.
You Can Use Paper Bags Instead Of Plastic
Yes and no, but plastic is better because you can recycle and reuse them.
use paper bags and save earth
Yes, because it is harmful to our environment.. :)
Well plastic bags from groceries can affect our environment. Plastic grocery bags are cheap and convenient for both grocery stores and the consumer. As a result, shoppers use these bags for 80 percent of their shopping trips.
Although all forms of consumption have some environmental impact, paper bags are much less harmful than plastic bags are.

A paper clip is a small piece of metal or plastic that is not biodegradable, so it will remain as is in the environment for a long time.
