Why plastic bags should be used?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Plastic bag were once preferred to paper because their use avoided the need to cut down more trees to make more paper. Now they are also cheaper than paper bags.

More recently, the disposal issued with so many plastic bags have caused some to advocate the use of reusable bags, which are often made from cloth of one type or another. However, reusable bags can become great sources of microorganisms and must be laundered after each use to prevent that, raising questions about detergent and handling of additional wash water.

There is no perfect solution.

Answer 3

When you throw away a plastic bag it will take anything up to a million years for it to decompose and break down. So if you throw away a plastic bag you are leaving something behind that is going to still be here waay in the future. If we dont want the world to be full of plastic then I advise you to reuse your plastic bag, so people don't make more plastic bags which means MORE WASTE!

Answer 4

Plastic bags should be used minimally, if at all, due to the negative impact they have on the environment. They are a major source of pollution, contributing to litter in oceans and harming wildlife. Many alternatives, such as reusable bags, are available that are more sustainable and eco-friendly.
