Plastic bags are made out of non-biodegradable
substances. Because they are durable they do not rot. Scientist believe s that it would take up to 1,000 years to break down. In that time plastic bags separate into smaller toxic particles that contaminates the soil and even waterways. Even if we try to burn them, it pollutes the atmosphere
Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are made worldwide. That means that 1 million plastic bags are made each minute, but then billions end up as litter each year. Making plastic bags can lead to exhaustion of oil, because to make a lot of plastic bags, we need a lot of oil. If we reduce oil we could save much more oil. You can actually drive about 460 meters with the oil which is used for only one plastic bag.
Plastic bags even kill a lot of marine animals. Plastic bags gets blown into the ocean and floats around like a jelly-fish.
A lot of sea-creatures
choke and die for mistaking them as their food. Each year, thousands of sea turtles choke on plastic bags after mistaking them for jellyfish, their favourite food. Even other sea critters like sea lions and dolphins have also been found with their stomachs filled with plastic bags!
it may be more echo friendly to use material bags but you can also reuse polythene bags so whats the point it is easy to carry. it is cheap and best.
So that India is more safer from pollution as most of the people are unaware of the harm caused when polythene bags r disposed.
Polythene bags are banned because people dispose of them near there homes. This leads to clogging of drains, rivulets and natural springs with a non biodegradable bag.
we should discourage the use of polythene bags as they are not biodegradable and thus cause pollution..

Hefty sandwich bags are made up of polythene.
I believe biodegradable bags are the strongest because they are made to withstand pressure, weather changes, or just about any force. The strength and quality of these bags are made to last a lifetime.
ya, definitely to avoid polythene bags we use these paper carry bags that should made from recycle paper only.
