the use of plastic is increasing day by day. but nowadays people don't care about the harmful effects of plastic. now i will tell u the harmful effects of plastic bags.

we know that burning releases many harmful gases and burning of plastics release even more harmful gases such as carbon di oxide, methane etc. these are greenhouse gases and are very good at absorbing heat and radiations of sun. when the sun radiations falls on the surface of earth, then greenhouse gases absorb then and don' allow them to escape back into space and this cause the greenhouse effect. as the temperature increases, then it leads to one of the big problem we are facing today.. that is GLOBAL warming.

and we already know the harmful effects of global warming such as oceans and sea are overflowing and causing floods. the snow and ice of polar regions are melting and harming the habitats of polar animals. many weak animals and birds are also dying because of the very hot weather.

so these are the harmful effects of global warming..

carbon dioxide also reacts with ocean and sea water and make it acidic. it leads to the death of many aquatic animals and also harm aquatic plants.

we know that plastics are non-biodegradable means they can't be converted into organic matter. hence it causes soil pollution too.. and if cattles swallow these plastics, then it can damage their digestive and reproductive system.

these are the common harmful effects of plastics (plastic bags).. there are much more...

so minimize the use of plastic bags and use paper or jute bag instead.
