 Will banning plastic bags help?



 Plastics are mostly derived from petrochemicals and can be
found in various forms. Plastics bags are more easily available
everywhere and easy to use. Most of the pollution is caused by
these plastic bags, which even after disposal do not break down for
over hundreds of years.
 Plastic bags can also be a major reason for air, water and land
pollution. Being light in weight, they can be carried away by  wind
and as a result will land in between trees, fences, garbage and
water bodies. It would be harmful as if one consumes without
knowledge it will lead to suffocation and death.

As these are not natural materials, enzymes and bacteria will not be
able to degrade them. This when not disposed properly are eaten
by the animals and birds thinking it to be their food, the small
particles of plastics also end up into the soil and grown up along
with the other plants. At the end it is indirectly induced into human
food chain when through crops and meat and harm human body
as well.
