Plastic shopping bags contribute to the pollution of land and sea. Some people think they should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays,

plastic

carrier usage has increased at an alarming rate. whilst some people and I hold the view that

plastic

shopping

bags

should be outlawed because they have deleterious effects on the environment.

In addition

, the Oceans’ marine life has borne the brunt of drawbacks caused by their disposal. My contention will be

further

explained. Embark ,

plastic

bags

have a negative impact on the habitat because they are non-biodegradable.

In other words

, when these

bags

are buried in the soil or even thrown into the ocean and wild animals eat them,

plastic

will enter the food chain causing different issues or even death.

For example

, a hungry turtle may be mistaken transparent

plastic

bags

for a jellyfish and eat it, the turtle will choke on the

plastic

as it cannot digest it, and die painfully.

Hence

, what can be said is that these types of carriers maybe take hundreds of years to decompose into pieces.

Moreover

,

plastic

bags

contain toxic chemical elements that will negatively affect the

air

when burnt.

This

means that if these harmful by-products are released into the

air

and inhaled by people, they will result in many lethal diseases

such

as cancer. A prime example of

this

is research conducted by the World Health Organization revealed that a plethora of Chinese people had lung cancer due to

air

pollution.

Thus

,

plastic

bags

not only affect the

air

but

also

have a detrimental impact on the soil’s fertility resulting in a reduction in crops’ yield. In conclusion, after

this

essay has manifested the above-mentioned points, it can be reiterated that

bags

made of

plastic

should be completely banned.

Therefore

, I am convinced that the government should legislate the laws that prohibited the usage of these packs.
