This

essay will discuss why plastics are a big concern and should be limited. On one hand, elastic has been consumed by humans everywhere; grocery stores, hospitals, homes, and restaurants.

On the other hand

, some countries get rid of

plastic

by throwing it into rivers and oceans which

causes

serious problems.

For example

, recent research shows that most of the river bottom is covered with

plastic

bags, containers, and bottles which affected plants' growth in water and impact fish as well. If the government limited

plastic

consumption, especially in grocery stores, and put fees for using it unnecessarily, people will start using it wisely. In conclusion, Using

bags

causes

many problems for the environment and our health too.

That is

why I agree that getting rid of it and substituting it with a better option will do less harm.
