bag should be put in by proper area or a dustbin. While
bags
are not the only plastic
being thrown carelessly, they certainly make up a large proportion and therefore
banning them would be a step in the right direction at least.

bags

year, many people were forced to reconsider other convinced and bad habits they had maintained for decades. Furthermore

sparked action regarding the use of plastic
straws, disposable coffee cups and packaging in general, all of which the environmental problems. Clearly, if stores take a strong position and prohibit the single-use of the restriction, the knock-on effect can be powerful.
