Answers
Answer:
The usage of plastic bags has become a part of life style in the 20th century. People go empty handed to the shops and return with loads of plastic bags. The concerns of Plastic bags towards the environment are too huge to ignore.
- Plastic bags were mostly made of 'polyethylene' which is made out of petroleum. If you find the words PE on any plastic bag, be sure that it was made out of Polyethylene. Petroleum as we know is a limited natural resource, which can be exhausted if used irrationally. Besides, numerous toxic chemicals were released while manufacturing the Polyethylene.
- A plastic bag once thrown on the ground takes centuries together to degenerate. Since most of the plastic bags we use are not biodegradable, they would just break into small pieces and will never completely decompose into the earth!
- The plastic bags left as a garbage would severely affect the wild life. Stray dogs and cows would eat them along with the food left in them. Marine creatures would mistake them to be jelly fish and consume them. Even the sea birds and turtles also eat the pieces of plastic bags thinking them to be of some kind of prey. Such an intake is almost fatal to creatures either instantly or in the long run.
