Why to say NO to plastic?

 

We can find plastic bags everywhere around us, in our environment. While going for grocery purchase, we opt for plastic bags because they are the most convenient. In our day to day lives, plastic bags have become a part of us. But at the same time, the usage of these plastic bags comes at a cost, one that’s high for our environment and also negatively affects our health.

A lot of cities have started adapting to using replacements for plastic and have made it a point to ban the usage of the same too while some has enforced laws against the use of these plastic bags since they have adverse effect both on human health and environment.

10 reasons why plastic usage is banned:

• Plastic bags not just pollute water but also our land.
• A lot of energy is required to produce these plastic bags.
• Plastic is toxic.
• Plastic bags don’t degrade and hence stay in the environment for a way longer time than needed.
• These plastic bags are made from non-renewable sources and therefore highly contribute to climatic changes.
• They are expensive and not to mention, way hard to clean or remove from environment.
• They are harmful to marine life and wildlife.
• They have an external cost and also leave adverse effect on human health.
• Plastic bags are not easily recyclable as consumers don’t tend to recycle them.
• Rather than reusable, these plastic bags are designed and manufactured in a way that it’s disposable.
• These bags clog the water drains and make it difficult for water flow.

Being a conscious and environment-friendly citizen, it is our individual responsibility to protect and nurture nature thereby ensuring that our actions don’t leave adverse effects on the planet.
