Hundreds of plastic bags, you use in a day, do you know what plastic bag is??

MANUFACTURE:

Most of plastic bags are made of coal, petroleum, so they reduce reserves of fossil fuels. Harmful gases are given off during manufacture. Example: carbon monoxide, VAC, etc.

DISPOSAL:

Disposal of plastic is a major problem, many techniques used to dispose it but all have some flaws and failed.

RECYCLE:

Recycling also produce many toxic material of many kind.

POLLUTION:

*If you dump plastic bags it took more than 500 years to decompose.
* It reduces soil fertility. It piled up in landfills. It’s burning can cause asthma and cancer. Reason is Bis phenol A, phosphates, and sticky materials used in manufacturing.
*Marine life has the biggest threat due to plastic bags, 100,000 marine creatures  a year die from plastic entanglement.
*Millions of animals, birds, and humans are being killed and diseased due to this.

ALTERNATIVES:

As plastic bags are bio-degradable, less-durable, and not reusable. So we have to choose an alternative which can be reused, more durable and environment friendly. Example:cloth bag.
