Should plastic bags be banned.

Yes, plastic bags should be banned. I am going to tell you why. My reason are
killing animals fish etc, not reusable, too much and need to start somewhere.

The first reason is that it is killing the animals and fish. All the plastic is getting
into our waterways and then the fish start to eat it then die. There are some bad
photos of the ocean with plastic all though it. It can kill the animals because they
could choke on it but it can also get tangle around their limbs and cut off their
circulation then they will die. It’s not reusable so people just throw it out then it
ends up in the ocean.

The second reason is that there is way too much in the word. On average we
only recycle one plastic bag in every 200 we use. Each year, an estimated 500
billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are bought worldwide. That comes out to over one
million per minute.That is way too much.

I don’t think that plastic bags will stop all the plastic going everywhere because
there is plastic bags everywhere. Everything you buy in the supermarket has
some plastic in or on it. It is all wrapped in it. And when you get your fruit you use
plastic bags there too. But I do think that if we do not start somewhere we will
never get close to being plastic free.

Next time you are at the supermarket have a look around, is there anything that
does not have plastic on it? I bet you will be looking for a while. It is a good start
though. That is why plastic should be banned.
