Answer 2

Well plastics are dangerous things on earth.The chemicals in it eat us away very slowly and eventually that leads to our death.Especially when we purchase vegitables and fruits we use plastics to store them in the refrigerator to save space in the refrigerator but eventually that eats away all the nutrients that is required and the due to chemical reaction the chemicals present in it starts to flow in those vegitables and fruits and finally when we eat all the chemicals of plastic goes in our body and we die.

This effect occurs even if we burn the plastics.

The smoke that comes out is completely filled with chemicals and if we inhale them there is very much chances of getting lung cancer.

So after all these happenings it is better we stop using the plastics and go for the paper bags..

Because throwaway plastic materials are made to last a while, plastic pollution has become a serious problem.  Researchers are now also finding plastic rubbish even in Antarctic regions. 75 marine bird species are known to eat plastic articles.

For humans, leaching of chemicals such as Bisphenol A (BPA) may cause problems.  I've discontinued using disposable water bottles for several reasons, this being one of them.
