- plastic bags are very useful in our day-to-day lives, and we seemingly can’t do without them, they have a significant contribution to the environmental pollution, wildlife deaths, human health hazards, and other detrimental impacts.
- sea turtles mistake floating plastic shopping bags for jellyfish. These sea turtles risk extinction partly because of consuming excessive amounts of plastics. Plastic cannot be digested properly and hence will accumulate in the stomach leading to the animal’s death. Even worse, the ingested plastics will remain intact even after the dead animal decomposes.
- Plastic can take up to 2000 years to completely decompose. In fact, all the plastic that has ever been manufactured still lingers in the environment. That means you’ll never live to see the decomposition of plastic.
- Studies have shown that meals that are eaten or heated in plastic bags result in the development of ulcers, asthma, obesity, and certain cancers. One of the chemical is Bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA helps to make plastic more flexible and durable. While it makes plastic more useful for everyday use, this chemical contributes to serious health risks, especially when it comes in contact with food.
- Hence, we should avoid the use of polythene bags and prefer alternative like cloth bag, jute or paper bag ,etc.
