today. Many people especially environmentalists are requesting to ban polythene

bags

. I completely agree with

this

statement, and I hereby provide valuable points in support.

Firstly

,

Plastic

is used all over the world causing ocean and

land

pollution. It causes threats to the aquatic as well as animals living on the

land

.

For example

, in the case of marine animals

such

as fish and sea birds

this

plastic

might lead to suffocation. The

plastic

wastes are thrown everywhere leading to piled-up landfills. It can affect abandoned animals on

land

by swallowing polythene covers that may contain food.

Moreover

, these

plastic

bags

take years to decompose and release chemical substances into the soil leading to soil pollution and

also

preventing the sunlight from reaching the soil. The Government and each individual have to take responsibility for preventing

plastic

bags

. People should stop using

plastic

bags

and

instead

use paper

bags

,

as a result

, does not contaminate the environment. Authorities should encourage the production of recyclable covers as one way to avoid pollution. Awareness camps, strict laws and rules should be held to prevent waste. In conclusion, the

Plastic

ban should come into immediate effect by spreading awareness of the disadvantages among people to protect our oceans and

land

from getting polluted.
