In many countries,plastic shopping bags are main source of rubbish.Do you agree or diagree?

Plastic

shopping

bags

are considered to be the main source of rubbish in many states. I totally disagree with

this

statement as there are worse sources of garbage

such

as

paper

packets, boxes and

plastic

bottles.

First

of all,

paper

packets and boxes are quite often used in many cities. Being more eco-friendly,

paper

-based products are produced as much as possible. The popularity of

paper

became one of the reasons for its excessive usage, thereby, increasing the amount of rubbish in many countries.

Moreover

, not only does the level of pollution increase but

also

the number of trees decreases exponentially because of logging.

For instance

, recent statistics showed that the annual usage of

paper

and the amount of garbage correlate to each other in more than 60%.

Furthermore

,

plastic

bottles are another, possibly even worse, pollutant of the environment. It takes a lot more time for nature to corrupt them in comparison to

plastic

bags

. The bottle can lay on the surface for many decades if not centuries because of its durability and density of used components.

In addition

, it can be found not only on the surface but

also

in many oceans where it causes even more damage to the global environment.

For example

, some environmentalists around the globe claim that

plastic

bottles are the root cause of more than half of the ecological problems on the planet. In conclusion, I disagree that the main source of rubbish is

plastic

bags

. There are products and materials produced in higher quantities and, thereby, pollute the environment even more than the

bags

.
