Plastics Bags: A Devil To Be Banned

Plastics Bags- A Devil To Be Banned Plastic bags ar normally employn to customers by vendors when buying. It is a very well-off method for transporting goods. Moreover, it is highly popular to the customers and retailers because of its light weight. But, ultimately this much fashion of the plastic bags leads to the many an(prenominal) serious problems. Plastic bags should be illegalise in Canada because it subscribe to a critical environment problems, health problems and also because of its equal of production and recycling. Plastic bags should be banned because it cr takees very harmful environment problems.Throwing plastic bags could play the soil pollution. It also creates marine pollution. As per the research over 13 billion plastic bags are handed to consumers each year, representing a substantial symmetricalness of all floating marine litter (http//www. guardian. co. uk/ environment/2007/nov/13/plasticbags. pollution). Plastic bags wastes block the drainage and also it is dangerous to marine life. Every year thousands of seals and whales are dying because of eating plastic bags. For making a plastic bags earths precious natural resources are being used.Burning plastics produce much foul gases which cause air pollution (http//debatewise. org/debates/ 1011-should-plastic-bags-be-banned/yes9). All of this pollution in combine produces a Green House Effect. Moreover, during the production of the plastics many harmful waste chemical is produce which also contribute in the pollution and ultimately environment problems. So, plastic bags should be banned in Canada as it has dangerous environmental issues. Another, understanding for banning of the plastic bags is because of its effect on the health.Air produce after burning of plastics can lead to an asthma or can worse the asthma. When a plastics belch down it release many harmful chemicals and by drinking this type of water it enter into a human body and can produce a disease like diabetes, heart problems, cancer (Copperkitten). These all health problems are serious and they cost much for treatment also. Toxic emission produces daring an descent of plastic bags, their manufacturing, and their transportation contribute to acid rain and smog (Environmental Literacy Council).Moreover, some people put their foods in plastic bags for a long time and during that many toxic chemicals enter into a food and that may degrade food and also have an adverse effect on a health. Sometimes animals eat plastics bags with other food and in the body plastics not get metabolized and cause the serious problems. Many times it happen like birds eat a bust of plastic bags and that stick to their neck and because of that they are unable to take a breath, and die. Thats why the usage of plastic bags should be banned in Canada callable to its health risk.Production as well as recycling of plastic bags is very costly. During a production many natural sources of energy are used and that extend the p roduction cost. Moreover, this will leads to a decrease of these types of an energy sources. The price of oil used to produce petrochemicals for making recycled plastics is so high (Miller, 2005). One could drive their political machine for a few meters in production cost of one plastic bag. Also, the plastics are non-biodegradable so recycling is very complicated and it will cost to a fault much money.After the recycling another big problems is of removal of the waste. Overall, production and recycling of plastics bags affect the economy of the country. For recycling there are a separate bins infallible to put in each street and also special vehicles are required for collection of that bins, and these all ultimately increase a cost of recycling. For a disposal of non-biodegradable plastic bags separate farmyard is required and day by day more and more space required storing plastic wastes. Therefore, it is better to ban a usage of plastic bags and it must be banned.Some people g ive a counter argument that plastic bags should not be banned in Canada. They give a reason like plastic bags are convenient, cheaper and also not harm the environment too much. Some says, it is better to add a taxation on production and usage of plastic bags than banning it. But it is not necessary that all convenient things are good for environment and economy. Moreover, the plastics are never degraded into a harmless ingredient, it always produce a toxic substances. Another way to reduce the environmental problems is to use a bio degradable plastics bags.But, the production cost is too high for making bio degradable plastics bags. Some says to reduce the use of plastics bags rather than banning it. But, nobody can control the usage of plastics if it is not banned. And it is proven that the plastic leads to critical environmental problems. It also reduces the other sources of energy and that will affects lot in future. And there is no need to use plastic bags as newsprint bags a lready available at the same cost in a market. Also, such(prenominal) types of paper bags are bio degradable as well as safe for a environment.So, plastic bags must be banned in Canada. In a nut shell, due to the high risk associated with the usage of plastic bags, it should be banned in Canada. Nobody have a right to damage a environment of a earth. So for a environment and for other living creatures usage of plastic bags must be stop and that is only possible by banning of a usage as well as production. In such types of issues awareness is not much useful. Government must have to take a firm steps for it. And, banning of plastic bags is only a solution.Work cited Copperkitten sustainable Living, June 2010 http//copperkitten. wordpress. com/2010/06/22/the-health-hazards-of-plastic-bags/ Environmental Literacy Council. 2005.
