Explain Why Plastic Bags Should Be Banned

Imagine you are an animal living in the ocean. You suddenly spot lunch and go to snatch it up. While you are eating it you feel you can’t breathe very well. You also notice that it is stuck on your body. You think of a plan to get it off, but it is too late. You are dying in the water wanting help and hoping and praying that someone will help you. As you wait, nobody comes and you realize that you are not breathing at all as you sink to the bottom of the ocean and drown. Plastic bags should be banned for many reasons. Some of the reasons are that plastic bags cause global warming, they are dangerous, and people save money.
One reason is that plastic bags cause global warming. For example, it kills many animals when they mistake it for food and the toxins look like small fish. According to Seymour Simon, global warming can cause many bad things to happen. One is that it kills many animals like I said before. Another thing that could happen is the climate in an area can change over time. This is bad because animals have adapted to certain temperatures and this can make them not be able to find food and because of that they will die. This

For example, it is often hard to get out of animals if they eat it. To prevent this, we can use paper bags instead because they break down more easily. Some people say that paper bags take up to much room in landfills, but let me ask you a question. If paper bags break down much faster than plastic bags, don’t they break down in landfills and takes up less room than plastic bags that take 100’s of years to break down completely? Well…………..the answer is yes because since plastic bags take 100’s of years to fully break down, people use more plastic than paper bags, it would take 1000’s of years for all of those bags to be broken down. Since paper bags are used less, we can use more of them than plastic bags because they won’t harm the environment according to Plastic Ahoy {
