The usage of

plastic

and

plastic

products is one of the most controversial subjects in today's time and era. A few people think that

plastic

carriers

such

as shopping bags contribute to polluting sea and land both.

This

essay will argue that why

plastic

shopping bags need to be banned in order to help the environment. Bags made out of

plastic

are made at a cheap cost.

First

, as a shopkeeper cannot charge the customer for a

plastic

bag, these cheap

plastic

bags are widely used by almost every shop owner.

Moreover

, it is justifiable that these people are pro-users of these shopping bags as it adds convenience to the customer purchasing the product.

For example

, it's easier to carry products in a bag than in your arms.

Plastic

Shopping carriers are nearly a 10$ million dollar business globally.

However

, these

plastic

bags are highly toxic to the environment. Once used and thrown on to land these require a minimum of 400 years to get decompose.

Furthermore

, if thrown into water, they pollute the sea by making it poisonous for the natural ecosystems within.

For example

, there are remains of

plastic

which have been found from over 300 years ago, which are not completely absorbed by soil. Another example, nearly 2 million sea creatures are victim to eating

plastic

and dying.

Plastic

bags are a slow growing matter of concern to the overall surroundings. In conclusion,

this

essay argued why the usage of

plastic

bags needs to be stopped on priority. In my opinion, we need to have more environment friendly shopping carriers

such

as paper bags and cloth carriers.
