Why is it necessary to restrict the use of plastic bags? |
|
Answer» People throw-away (polythene) plastic bags after using them once. Plastic is non-degradable i.e. it does not dissolve in water or land and so pollutes both water and land. Plastic bags thrown in sewage collect at a place in gutter lines and block the flow of wastewater due to which dirty water overflows onto land and spreads pollution. When such gutters overflow in the rainy season they cause waterlogging in major parts of cities which leads to many water-borne diseases. Abandoned animals that roam the streets in search of food, find plastic bags full of discarded food stuff. These hungry animals try to get at the food and when they can’t, they eat the plastic bags along with the food-stuff. These bags choke up their intestines and make them ill sometimes leading to their deaths. |
