Subject: – About banning plastic Carry-bags.
Respected Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to express my views on the huge increase of plastic carry-bags which causes danger to the environment. The use of plastics makes our lives easier but has serious adverse effects on the environment and ultimately on our lives. Excessive use of plastics harms animals and wildlife as well as marine life. Plastic bags are not easy to destroy. It takes thousands of years to destroy plastic bags. It is a tragedy for human beings that we still use plastic bags knowing the effects of plastic.
Due to contamination caused by plastic bags In addition it affects land. Plastic bags also give rise to greenhouse gases when they are revealed to ultraviolet radiation. There are many more disadvantages of using plastic. In my view, banning plastics would be beneficial for humans, animals and the environment. The use of plastic should be banned in consultation with the concerned authorities.
I would be happy if you published this serious issue in your newspaper because everyone needs to know the side effects of using plastic.
Yours Faithful,
Chinmay Gehlot
