Should plastic bags be banned in New York City?

plastic bags are durable ,inexpensive, waterproof, and stretchy. if we banned them we would have to use paper or tote bags. paper means we cut down trees, other words cut down forests and jungles. trees give us oxygen and without oxygen we die. not a good alternative. tote may be good for the enviorment but what happens if you forget them?!! what you use paper? if they give paper people wont use tote instead they will use paper. the same as paperwill happen as far as i know this is the best Eco and money friendly......


Why plastic bags should be used?

Umm... They're not. In any way I know of. They're terrible. The only concivable argument in their favor is paper bags have to have trees cut down to be produced and plastic doesn't but plastic sits in landfills for a century. In shorter terms, ditch plastic bags and if you feel bad about cutting down trees for your groceries go plant afew trees. Like, 10... We should have more trees.

Why plastic bags are not good?

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.
