In many countries, plastic bags are the main source of rubbish causing pollution in oceans and on land; therefore they should be banned. To what extant v. 1
Plastic pollution is becoming one of the greatest threats to our environment, particularly the oceans, and the plastic bags are the main culprits. Some have therefore suggested banning the use of these bags. This essay will discuss why I agree that a ban is the best way to curb the amount of plastic being discarded. The main reason why plastic bags ought to be removed from the market is that they are causing environmental crises. Around 4 trillion are used annually and since they are not biodegradable, most end up in landfill or in waterways. Indeed, the news media has been awash recently with stories and images of marine life getting tangled in plastic waste or dying from ingesting kilos of discarded shopping bags. While bags are not the only plastic being thrown away carelessly, they certainly make up a large proportion and therefore banning them would be a step in the right direction at least. A secondary reason is that banning plastic bags raise awareness about single-use plastic and consumption in general. When Walmart supermarkets, for instance, implemented a ban at the check-out this year, many people were forced to reconsider other conveniences and bad habits they had implemented for decades. Subsequently, the bag ban also sparked action regarding the use of plastic straws, disposal coffee cups and packaging in general, all of which contribute to environmental contamination. Clearly, if stores take a strong position and prohibit single-use bags, the knock-on effect can be powerful. In conclusion, this essay discussed both the practical and the psychological impacts of a ban on plastic carry bags. In my opinion, this simple steps can have far-reaching consequences and the sooner more stores adopt the policy, the better.
