Answer 1

Sorry if this is a bit bigger than what you wanted, but I wanted to cover most of the important parts in it... The chief reason behind the popularity of Polybags is their easy availability in the market. People have become habitual of polythene bags as they are cheap, light and waterproof. However, if we concern for environment and wish to save environment from the several troubles caused by polybags, we have to limit the use of these carry bags. Polybags pollute the environment from the time they get manufactured. Production of these bags involves emission of obnoxious gases causing serious problems to the workers as well as to neighborhood. Polythene bags settle in the soil too. As they are non porous and non- biodegrable, they suffocate the plant roots and restrict the free flow of water and air and as a result the quality of soil is degraded. Some state Governments has also banned the plastic bags throughout the state, especially in ecologically sensitive areas. However, social monitoring is the best way to save environment. Hope this helps!! All the best.
