Government of India is imposing a ban on the use of polythene bags because polythene is a non-biodegradable substance and can't be broken into the simpler substance by the microorganisms. It remains as such in the environment. It is poisonous and is harmful for the animals when eaten by them, as they blocks the alimentary canal of the animals. Polythene is equally harmful to environment also. These are the major reason for blocking of sewage.
The two alternatives to the polythene bags are as follows:
1. Adopting usage of jute bags instead of polythene bags.
2. Use of disposable paper cups instead of plastic cups.
3. Use of paper bags in shops. This ban will improve the environment because banning the polythene will help in saving animals from eating them, protecting the soil pollution from the polythene, avoiding blocking of severs etc.
Hope it will help you...
With the increase in these polythene bags the death rate of animals were considerably increase when cows or any other animal consumed them they would die as they are not digested (cellulose)
→ the burning of polythene has contributed much to the pollution like emitting gases like carbon monoxide thereby increasing risk of deaths
→ alternative are :- just bags and paper bags
