Hazards of Polythene Bags Polythene bags have become very popular for carrying our shopping home. These bags are light, handy, attractive and strong. Shopkeepers find them easy to store and customers regard them as beneficial too. But they are a big threat to our environment. They have many adverse effects, for example, they are not biodegradable and produce noxious gases when burnt. They choke the drains and provide breeding grounds to deadly germs. Animals and birds mistake them for food and when they eat them, their digestive systems get disturbed. These bags never decay and the fertility of the earth is lost due to their excessive use. Thus, the greenery of the earth is hampered. The poisonous gases produced on burning the polythene bags cause serious diseases like bronchitis, allergy, cancer, etc in human beings. Therefore it is our responsibility to stop the use of polythene bags. We should take an active part in the anti-polythene campaign launched by the Delhi administration.
