Do you think plastic bags should be banned?


Personal opinion: I think they should. But, I don’t think we should just ban them and not have a substation for them such as, reusable containers for keeping things as food storage, paper bags for the supper market, and throwing trash straight into the bin and hosing down your bin when needed. But another thing I thinking should also be put into consideration is that we should make the production for paper bags and reusable containers a lot more better for the environment and people. It wouldn’t make sense to ban something and have it not do anything good for people or the environment.

The reason I am asking this question is because I need something from the other side basically why plastic bags shouldn’t be banned in my opinion, I’m just having trouble figuring that out.

I think plastic bags are good because they help in many life and worldly things, they help to put wet items in, whereas paper bags won't do good. However, to some extent I say they should be banned because people don't care about animals, they litter and the animals get hurt/die.

paper bags are not of any use if they are thin and not waterproof, they could be handy if they are good quality and sustainable, if people could invent such things they plastic bags can be banned, paper bags won't hurt animals as much as plastic it would dissolve in water and become dust.

Answer:

Due to many recent environmental health movements against plastics, many people believe plastic bags are detrimental to the planet’s health. Increased awareness of plastic’s harm to the world has led to an increased usage of cotton and paper bags.

However, the question lies in whether these alternatives are better than plastic bags. Although plastic bags seem to be generating a considerable carbon footprint on the planet and contaminating our oceans, cities should not ban plastic bags since the benefits of plastic bag use far outweigh current alternatives. Plastic bags are simply practical, sanitary, and produce far less pollution.

Despite plastic bags being the most convenient and beneficial option, the damage they bring is undeniably immense. An article published by Sustainability Times reveals that plastic bags’ carbon footprint is enormous due to their high demand and delivery process.

Drilling limited fossil fuels to create these ubiquitous bags takes a toll on the planet, creates many harmful greenhouse gases, and uses an unsustainable resource. This knowledge will alarm environmentalists because it exposes the stresses plastic bags place on our planet, such as the severe pollution plastic bags inflict on the world.

Another finding by National Geographic documents a monstrosity of non-degradable plastic debris floating in the ocean named the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This scar of plastic’s damage to our marine habitat gives us an insight into our possible future. Likewise, the University of Georgia College of Engineering affirms that nearly eight million tons of plastic fill the ocean every year.

Readers can infer that continuing down the path of extensive plastic usage will further injure marine life, and they are correct. Therefore, believing plastic bags are damaging to nature is clear with this given knowledge.

Nevertheless, the damage caused by plastic bags is minimal compared to other options. According to National Geographic, a supposedly better replacement, a paper bag, generates four times the amount of carbon emissions than plastic bags and would only be more beneficial to the environment if reused around 43 times; due to paper bags’ low durability, this rarely occurs.
