Plastic Shopping bags contribute to the pollution of land and sea. Some people think that they should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?

The introduction of a substance into the land or the

sea

which has harmful or poisonous effects is called pollution. It is true that

plastic

shopping bags are contributing a lot in making our environment more polluted.

Therefore

, I strongly agreed that

plastic

shopping bags should be banned. (47) We had seen in the past that people always carried a cloth bag whenever they moved to markets for purchasing.

Plastic

bags were not used at all in many parts of the world.

Thus

, our planet was much cleaner before the introduction of

plastic

shopping bags. (46) Presently,

plastic

shopping bags are commonly used in almost the countries. The excessive use of

plastic

bags in shopping is not only polluting our land but

also

the

sea

.

This

is because of several reasons.

For example

,

plastic

shopping bags are always thrown outside once they are used. They are made from a material which is absorbed neither in earth surface nor in the water. So they keep on polluting our environment for long times.

In addition

, the large number of waste

plastic

bags has not only distorted the natural beauty of our seas, but

also

has proved a source of poison for

sea

animals. (103) In developed countries, governments have taken many impressive initiatives to overcome

this

problem.

Thus

, if the countries keep on limiting the use of

plastic

bags for shopping,

then

our land and

sea

will certainly become a safe place for living in the near future. (44)

Therefore

, I totally agreed that the

plastic

shopping bags have to be banned, but an alternative to

plastic

bags should be introduced so that people do not suffer in carrying their goods. (32)
