The fact that plastic bags hurt the environment is one of the
biggest reasons why they have already started banning plastic bags in some cities
and states but we must also look at why using reusable bags could also be bad
for the environment.
While Re-usable plastic bags may sound ideal. However, do people
actually remember to bring them to the grocery each time they go? If they do
not, what happens is that they have to buy more reusable bags which means that
more plastic is being used. Yes, the idea is that they are not disposable and
so do not fill our dumpster, but the reality is, after a few times of
forgetting to bring your reusable bags, you will have gathered many of them and
what would you do with them? . Eventually, you would throw them away, just like
they did with plastic bags or if not, they would have to pay an extra cost
for a bag because they forgot to bring one, which in the long run could add up
if you are not careful and go shopping a lot.
Most people will not use they’re reusable bags for trash bags in there
homes but if we were to have plastic bags and possible “smarter” people then
they could recycle the plastic bags as trash bags instead of letting them stray
into the open and run the risk of animals choking on them. Plus, don’t plastic bottles, cans and
everything else play a big role in why animals are in danger of choking and
dying annually.
Maybe when people decide to not litter will be the day we will
see plastic bags being used again where they have banned them. If you
think about it you can recycle the plastic bags on your own and use them as garbage
can bags which could save u money from buy normal plastic bags, the fact that
you wouldn’t have to pay for them and also the fact that you wouldn’t waste
plastic if manufacturers didn’t have to make them causing them to use more
plastic!
