Used plastic bags are found in abundance in the streets and are
responsible for clogging drains and sewerage lines.
In the rural areas, these bags decrease the productivity of the arable
land because they do not rot or turn into compost. The most dangerous
are the black bags, made of recycled plastic which increases their toxic
content.
