In many countries plastic shopping bags are the main source of rubbish, causing pollution on land and in the water. Some people think they should be banned. to what extent do you agree or disagree?

Plastic

bags nowadays are highly used in many countries and that causes many environmental issues that impact our lives. I completely agree that plastics are the main source of pollution in air, soil and water.

This

essay will discuss why plastics are a big concern and should be limited. On one hand,

plastic

has been consumed by humans everywhere; grocery stores, hospitals, home, and restaurants.

Although

plastic

is making our lives easier, we use it as a disposable thing and that's why 90 percent of rubbish is

however

, the rest of it is burnt. Burning

not only pollutes the air but

also

causes health issues and global warming.

consumption, especially in grocery stores, and put fees for using it unnecessarily, people will start using it wisely. In conclusion, Using

bags causes many problems for the environment and our health too.

That is

why I agree that getting rid of it and substituting with a better option which will do less harm.
