In many countries plastic shopping bags are the main type of rubbish. They cause water and land pollution, so they should be banned. To what extent do you agree?

Plastic

carry bags form a major chunk of garbage in most countries around the globe. As they pose a great threat to the environment.

Therefore

, there is a general consensus that there must be a legal ban on these items. I completely agree with

this

view. Over the

last

few decades there was a dramatic increase in the use of

plastic

bags. They are used everywhere from grocery shops to shopping malls. Most of the times, these bags are not properly disposed.

Consequently

this

led to the contamination of land and water biodiversity.

pose a great risk to all the animals and fishes that might feed on them. To illustrate, a survey conducted by an American organisation named 4Ocean, they have calculated the risk associated to the marine ecology that, in 2050 there would be more

in the world's ocean than fishes. Henceforth, it deteriorates ecosystem and hazardous. As it is a versatile material and

that is

the reason for its popularity.

Although

it is cheap, lightweight and can be used to package a variety of items. The only way to reduce the use of these carry bags is to enforce a strict law to abolish these malleable materials.

For instance

carry bags, but

also

forces the local people to turn to alternative materials

such

as bio-degradable or jute bags.

Thus

wastes are accumulating all around the globe and posing a great threat to the flora and fauna.

However

, governments across the globe ought to impose strict legislation on the production of these materials.
