Ans.
Environment Unfriendly Polybags

By: Rani, Staff Reporter

The Hindu

June 20, 2020. In the year 2002 the government had banned the production and use of plastic
bags in our country. But unfortunately, these are now being widely used again everywhere. Not
only are we using a huge number of polybags daily but we are also discarding them in our
drains uncaring about the fact that they will block the flow of drain water. Polybags are also a
threat to our environment. They cause pollution, kill wildlife and are responsible for using up the
natural resources of the earth. They are one of the main factors that litter the landscape. If
burnt, they will infuse the surrounding air with toxic fumes.

The main problem of plastic bags is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition of
plastic takes around a thousand years, so with the plastic rubbish produced each day it is likely
that this problem will never be solved. While the government works out ways to lessen the
impact of polybags on the environment each one of us too should shoulder some responsibility
for this problem that ultimately harms us all.
