Plastic shopping bags are used widely and cause many environmental problems. Some people say they should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, it is becoming common for
people
to use
plastic
shopping
bags
.
However
,
this
trend can
cause
many environmental
problems
in many ways. It can
also
cause
serious medical
problems
for humans and animals. In fact, I firmly agree that banning
plastic
shopping
bags
will overcome
this
environmental problem. The main reason is nylon
bags
can be harmful to
sea
animals. In
this
modern era, many
people
throw their waste into rivers.
However
,
this
waste will end up in the
sea
.
Sea
creatures can consume
this
waste, especially nylon
bags
. It will be harmful for them as they cannot digest plastics.
For instance
, many whales died because of consuming
plastic
shopping
bags
.
As a result
, the number of
sea
animals will decrease gradually.
However
,
this
negative trend will
also
lead to the extinction of some
sea
creatures. The following reason is
plastic
cannot be degreded. It will end up as litter in town and suburban areas.
Moreover
, the more
people
go shopping, the more litter in their place.
Nevertheless
, some
people
will choose to burn it as it can not degraded. By burning plastics, citizens can
cause
more pollution in the air. Citizens can get chronic medical
problems
such
as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and bronchitis. For illustration, many students have lung
problems
because their neighbours usually burn their
plastic
bags
.
Consequently
, life expectancy will increase.
To sum up
, not only will nylon
plastic
be harmful to
sea
creatures, but it
also
cause
medical
problems
for society. Having considered the drawbacks, I strongly believe that banning
plastic
shopping
bags
is a wise decision.
