As the development of technologies and materials is rising significantly in the era of 4.0, several countries are concerned that plastic shopping bags are the main source of rubbish taking the responsibility for the soil pollution and water pollution. Therefore, an argument of whether plastic bags should be banned was sprung up. I strongly agree with the statement of prohibited use of plastic materials as for many reasonable benefits of doing this.
Granted, plastic products have assisted human lives a lot in daily life as for its convenience and cheapness. To begin with, people tend to use those bags in fast shopping or whenever they go to a market. Besides paying for the main stuff, those bags are widely given for free to customers and have more space to contain bigger stuff compared to cloth bags, which are seen as the more valuable products. Moreover, when coming to a supermarket or to a traditional market people are widely not to bring their bags as for the culture of giving customers free bags to bring their products home in many countries.
However, the potential reasons to eclipse these long-life material bags’ benefits are their drawbacks. Regarding the problems of the environment, banning the use of plastic bags gives the marines creatures and also the whole nature an opportunity to enhance the environment. This way of action may considerably reduce the amount of waste from human beings throwing to nature, which have led to the extinction of many marine life as for the misunderstanding of natural foods (sea turtles…). Besides, many factories can change their way of production, which is not mainly using plastic chemicals in production, as for its harm to the workers and also the emissions to the environment make those things. Cloth bags are the better choice for these plastic production factories to invest in, as for its higher price in market and safe production of using natural sources.
In conclusion, while I understand why plastic bags are widely used for their significant benefits, the concern of natural problems and production is much more important.
