What are bad things about paper bags?
Plastic bags are bad for the environment because with all the growing plastic bags (which are not biodegradable) blowing around, anything can ingest it.Animals and everything. also the materials to make plastic bags contribute to the global emissions.Plastic degradation at sea takes between 45-1000 years.Usually though, plastic bags don't biodegrade. They photo-degrade. Which means they break up into smaller pieces of plastic until eventually becoming plastics dusts.Plastic which ends up in the sea (through garbage dumps at seaside, river flow etc) winds up becoming food for marine life that mistake it for food especially of the jellyfish variety.Plastics bags have been found in the stomachs of endangered animals including the leatherback turtles, harbour porpoises and black footed albatross. Ingestion (swallowing) of plastic bags can result in blockages, internal infections, starvation and death.These occur in deserts as well (garbage dumpsites in deserts) where camels and other desert wildlife have been found dead with plastic ingestion.If animals don't die from plastic ingestion, they pollute the food chain instead. After all, we are the ones eating fish and meat.Moreover, it takes about 430,000 gallons of oil to produce 100 million non-degradable plastic bags. And we use 4 trillion to 5 trillion plastic bags worldwide annually. That's using up oil sources without recycling them.Recycling cost of plastic bags: it takes 250 bags to make 1 kilo of plastic - making recycling economically unviable. Furthermore, plastic is made of recycled materials, making them difficult to be further recycled. Burning plastic results in air pollution and toxic ash.
What ingredients do you use to make a plastic bag?
plasticpetrolum and natural gas.the main ingredients are petroleum and natural gasThat is a good question. A huge majority of plastic bags are made out of... well... plastic!

Contents of a plastic bag are commonly now greener and made from renewable resources, though some grocery stores STILL haven't changed their ways, in the near future, we all hope that that will change. I hear that plastic bags are made out of petroleum and a couple other natural gasses.there made out of plasticit is made out of PLASTIC!Plastic, mostly, and some chemicals to temper and shape it.
What kind of pollution is made by plastic bags?

It is found to pollute enviroment as it is a polymer of polythene.In schools,colleges and at office people are found to use plastic articles as they are cheap than the other. But they forget that it is harmful to them. Almost every market that you go today, you will see people carrying their shopping items in plastic bags. Right from food items to clothes to shoes, there is hardly any item that we do not use a plastic bag to carry. However, before stuffing your home with different styles, colors and shapes of plastic bags, have you every considered the dangers that are inherent in using them? It is found to pollute enviroment as it is a polymer of polythene.In schools,colleges and at office people are found to use plastic articles as they are cheap than the other. But they forget that it is harmful to them as in the following cases:- Dangers Of Using Plastic Bags:- 1 Environmental Damage Plastic bags have been known to cause a lot of environmental damage. A single plastic bag can take up to 1000 years, to decay completely. This makes the bags stay in environments longer, in turn leading to great build-up on the natural landscape (much more than degradable materials like paper). In other words, the more plastic bags you use, the greater the chances of environmental damage. 2 Threat To Animal Life As per Marrickville Council of Australia, as many as 100,000 whales, turtles and birds die have been reported to die every year, mainly because of plastic in their environment. Plastic bags not only have adverse effects on our natural habitats, but have also been found to be responsible for the death of many animals, mainly on account of the suffocation encountered on eating them. 3 Suffocation Not only animals, infants and young children have also been reported to have lost their life, on account of plastic bags. Since plastic bags are thin and airtight as well, children often end up blocking their mouths and nostrils with them. In case they are not being monitored by an adult, this leads to suffocation and, in some cases, even death. 4 Pollution Plastic bags are extremely durable. In case you are thinking of this as an advantage, just bring to mind an image of the huge landfill that you visited on the city outskirts, the other day. In most probability, majority of the rubbish present there will comprise of plastic bags only. In other words, plastic bags have led to a great increase in the pollution levels. 5 Fumes Since plastic bags are not bio-degradable, the only way to get rid of them is to burn them up. Though lighting a match to them is easy, it has more than its fair share of disadvantages. The biggest of them is that smoldering plastics can release toxic fumes into the environment, in turn taking the air pollution to much higher levels. 6 Non-renewable One of the main disadvantages of plastic bags is that they are not renewable. The reason behind this is that they are made of petrochemicals, a non-renewable source of energy. They can be recycled, but not as easily as paper bags. Plastic bags can last for as much as hundred of years. In other words, long after you are no more, the plastic bag used by you will be in existence. 7 Typically plastic do not break down and therefore are not environmentally friendly. Plastic bottles and some containers tend to leach toxins when put through different temperature changes. For example, freezing a water bottle and then drinking from it as it thaws changes the plastic and then contaminates the water. 8 Another disadvantage to using plastic is that most are not recyclable in most parts of the world. Check the bottom of a plastic jar or container and you will see a triangle with a number inside it. In my neck of the woods plastics with numbers, 5, 7 or 9 are the worst for contamination and aren't recyclable. Plastic is also greatly over-used in packaging of all kinds of products, creating more garbage then anyone know where to put it. 9 The Pacific Ocean has one of the largest dumping ground for plastics, unknown numbers of sea birds marine mammals and fish ingest plastics which causes a variety of negative health effects.
