The introduction of a substance into the land or the

 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
Linking Words
, 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
Use synonyms
 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
Use synonyms
 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

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

 has proved a source of poison for

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

 problem.
Thus
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, I totally agreed that the
plastic
Use synonyms
 shopping bags have to be banned, but an alternative to
plastic
Use synonyms
 bags should be introduced so that people do not suffer in carrying their goods. (32)
