Why are plastic bag are bad?

Answer 1

Plastic bags are not bad, they do need to be disposed of correctly and they end up in landfill which then can lead to global warming. they are also not bio-degradable (they cannot break down like the ecologically friendly [green bags] can).

Answer 2

Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They clog waterways, spoil the landscape, and end up in landfills where they may take 1,000 years or more to break down into ever smaller particles that continue to pollute the soil and water.

Plastic bags also pose a serious danger to birds and marine mammals that often mistake them for food. Thousands die each year after swallowing or choking on discarded plastic bags.

Finally, producing plastic bags requires millions of gallons of petroleum that could be used for transportation or heating.

Answer 3

because they dont decompose, and will remain that way for millions of years. It pollutes the earth and some animals eat it thinking it food, and it really harms and kills the animal who ate it.
