Why should plastic bags be banned?

Question

Why should plastic bags be banned?

Answer 1

I don't think they should be banned...but people should use them conservatively. Recycle them, too. Lots of grocery and superstores will take back used bags that are clean and intact. You can also reuse them in your own home. They're good for many things, from lining trash cans, to picking up dog doo on a walk, to wrapping Christmas ornaments for storage, etc. Also, before throwing them away, cut the handles so they can't get caught around an animal's neck. This goes for pop can/bottle plastic holders, too.

If you ban plastic, what will you replace it with? Paper? That will cost us more trees. There's no easy answer.

Answer 2

because it is bad for the enviroment....buy the reusable ones!
