WHY STORES SHOULD STOP USING PLASTIC BAGS?

Plastic bags are a convenient way to carry our purchased goods when we go shopping.But in some or the other way they harm the environment also. They are useful in our daily lives but affects us also.Being modern is good but not at the cost of our heath and environment. 

1. Plastic bags pollute our land and water

Plastic bags are everywhere. Look around and you will notice that plastic bags are the most common litter. Tangled in trees and fences along roads, floating in water, lying on the ground in parks and forests, surrounding garbage bins, washed off on beaches…Because they are so lightweight, plastic bags get easily picked up by wind and travel long distances by wind and water to pollute the nature.

3.Plastic bags never break down

Petroleum-based plastic bags are composed of very resistant synthetic polymers that may take up to 1,000 years or never until they completely degrade in natural environments [6]

What does occur in most instances is that when out in the environment, the plastic breaks up into tiny microscopic pieces that get deposited in soils (where we grow food) or contaminate waterways. These pieces can be so small that they are invisible to our

4.Plastic bags are harmful to wildlife and marine life

Have you ever seen endangered sea turtles hatch? They are tinier than a palm of your hand and appear so fragile when struggling across the beach to make it to the sea.

Even human footprints left in the sand represent mountain-like obstacles in their path and waves washing up on the beach are another challenge, as they thrust them back on the dry land to try once again before finally being picked up by a return current and start swimming for their life.

5.Plastic bags are harmful to human health

Many of you may have heard it already. Tiny plastic particles have been found in human feces.

But is it really that surprising?

Microplastics were found in soft drinks like Coca Cola, in tap water, in seafood… It has contaminated our food chain, so it should not surprise us that it can be tracked in our body.

So, stop using plastics and understand the nature and try to save it as much as you can..Environment is the root of evrything on this earth. From humans to animals......Work now, if we will not work now we will not have tomorrow to repent....
