In many countries plastic shopping bags are the main type of rubbish. They cause water and land pollution, so they should be banned. To what extent do you agree?

Nowadays,

plastic

bags

are commonly used in shops or supermarkets and become trouble with water and land pollution. Some suggested that it should be banned to mitigate environmental problems. In my opinion, it could be an effective way to reduce the number of

plastic

bags

and directly prevent the issues of pollution. First of all, the number of

plastic

bags

is enormous and hazardous to the environment. A recent study showed that millions of tons of

plastic

bags

are used in Hong Kong daily since they are indecomposable and contain poisonous components, which could

Although

there are some considerable policies implemented in some countries

Thus

. Once the law is imposed, it creates incentives for companies or customers to use alternatives to replace
