According to the Clean Air Council, Americans, consume 20,000 plastic grocery-store bags every five seconds; which totals roughly one-hundred billion bags being used annually. This usage contributes to more than half-million tons of plastics being discarded into our nation’s landfills annually. Since plastic grocery store bags decompose by exposure to radiation from the sun’s ultra violet light and are not biodegradable, plastic bags are estimated to remain in our landfills for up to 1000 years, as stated by many plastic experts and scientists. If the experts are correct the sheer volume of plastic bags, over this time span, would overwhelm our current system of waste disposal. However, not all discarded plastic bags reach landfills; many are left circulating the oceans around the world or blowing with the wind in our national parks or stuck in the white picket fence surrounding our houses; causing great ecological damage to our wildlife. Consumers should no longer have the option of choosing plastic bags over the more earth friendly alternatives such as reusable, biodegradable bags. 
Many champions for the continued use of plastic bags, at checkout counters around the country, often tout the low cost and availability of plastic bags, and that banning them in favor of reusable bags would increase prices for consumers. While this argument is narrowly focused; it does, however, have some merit. Plastic bags are purchased in bulk by merchandisers for roughly two cents each.

I am a plastic bag and am available in various colors and sizes. I have many advantages like helping you to keep many things safe inside me. You can also use me to carry home what you buy from your grocery store. Since I do not absorb water, the contents you keep inside me will remain dry. I can be folded easily and kept inside other bags so that you can easily take me wherever you go.


However, I have a major disadvantage also. I am not biodegradable and cause a threat to the environment. Therefore, I have been banned in many places, especially shops. My cousin, the cloth bag or paper bag has taken my place. I am also a danger to children. They can get suffocated if they put me around their face and pull me tight.
