In many countries plastic bags are the main source of rubbish causing pollution in oceans and on land, therefore they should be banned. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is irrefutable that excessive

use

of

plastic

bags

is really the pain in the neck in the modern world.

Plastic

waste is non-biodegradable and it is one of the leading causes of water and soil

pollution

. As far as putting a ban on the

use

of

plastic

bags

is concerned, I partially agree with

this

statement because I feel that along with a legal ban some other alternatives must

also

be preferred to save the water and soil. There are myriads of reasons to support that putting a legal restriction on

plastic

bags

seems to be a viable solution to protect the ocean and land. If there is no

use

for

plastic

bags

then

there will be little

plastic

pollutants in the water and land. But it can encourage the black marketing of

plastic

bags

as people may

use

plastic

bags

in a clandestine way and ultimately it will cause

pollution

.

On the other hand

, if the citizens are sensitized about the harmful effects of the

use

of

plastic

bags

, they will avoid using them and the same message can be conveyed to the collective consciousness of the posterity.

Moreover

, if

plastic

bags

are expensive and

bags

made of biodegradable material are cheap,

then

people will

use

the

bags

very wisely.

Besides

, the recycling of

plastic

bags

can

also

reduce the

pollution

caused by

plastic

bags

. In a nutshell, it can be analyzed that putting a legal ban on the

use

of

plastic

bags

is not a permanent solution to end

pollution

in the oceans and on the land. Other alternatives must

also

be followed in ,letter and spirit to discourage people from the

plastic

bags

mindlessly.
