Its easy to mass produce and recycle, and has seemingly infinite uses. Who cares if it destroys the enviorment. We can't stop the inevitable...

Actually, you can, by stop using plastic bags. If person A sees person B doing it person A will follow in example.. Like a domino effect

Every time I go to the supermarket or to a Target store, my items are put into a plastic bag. This is now the norm and it's not going away.

Really? But what can you do about this? Use cloth bags which costs very cheap

Just like people, there is good and bad. Actually, it isn't plastic that is destroying the environment. Just like guns, plastic, put in the wrong hands, is dangerous. Just like guns, there needs to be common sense laws to regulate it, and common sense punishments for its abuse.

i think plastic equally benefical to society because most of our essential thing like carrybags,etc.plastic when decomposed /thrown it takes millions of years to decompose while it is going to affect us in this generation.however ,human population is going to be extinct in few centuries or more.plastic bags and the things made out of it is essential for humans.people who think it is not benefcial should try understand the consequences without plastic .if there better alternative than plastic bag we can optbfor itbut it will not be long surviving

Micro particles of plastic can be found in every beach around the world, 90% of sea birds have plastic in their guts, the Great Pacific Garbage Vortex has been credited as being the size of Texas and is mainly made up of plastic, there are Atlantic and Indian Ocean Garbage Vortex as well.

We are simply not doing enough to recycle the amount of plastic that we use and dispose of.

You do realize that plastic is bad, right? It is man-made and it would take a 1000 years just to fully decompose a plastic bag.

Some plastics biodegrade in 450 years, others take about 1000 years, and some never do. The ones that never do can only photodegrade, which means to break down into smaller pieces under direct light.

In Northern Ireland a mandatory surcharge on all plastic bags has resulted in a 90% drop in their use. Hedgerows, rivers and the shoreline are almost completely clear of these unsightly ''death' sacks. Plastic products are not bio-degradable and are a clear danger to wildlife and the environment. Plastic fishing nets take a shocking toll on marine life with many species dying a slow and lingering death trapped in the ''mesh of death''. Unfortunately there are no governments with the political courage to take on the petro-chemical giants.

Eversince the beginning, it's already not good for our health. It's helpful for our supplies like daily house things. But as much as possible, can we just only use plastic for things not connected or even with food. Plastic is so hard to recycle and even plastic is promised to be used again and again, there is still a lot of that that is not taken care of. I always make my arguments on point and very very very much simple, like basic English but still,,,,,, plastic recycling is hard to even notice and follow. We only drive words and not action themselves.

Plastic is bad in my opinion. Every year a lot of sea animals such as turtles and seagulls suffocate because of eating plastic bags. Also, when you put coffee in your plastic cup, it will release BPA, which is bad for your heallth. Lastly, plastic takes lot of time to disolve, so bring your own bags when going to the supermarket. What a waste is it to put your wrapped bread in another plastic bag!

Plastic is very harmful to the society as it contributes to the pollution made by humans. It is a very damaging factor for the environment. Plastic bags are also responsible for the death of thousands of marine animals annually.Instead of plastic bags which are non degradable, cloth bags can be used as they are both reusable and recyclable.There are various other alternatives for plastic bags which are hundred percent more effective and less harmful. In conclusion i think that from these facts it can be differed that plastic is indeed bad for the society in general.
