plastic bags are durable ,inexpensive, waterproof, and stretchy. if we banned them we would have to use paper or tote bags. paper means we cut down trees, other words cut down forests and jungles. trees give us oxygen and without oxygen we die. not a good alternative. tote may be good for the enviorment but what happens if you forget them?!! what you use paper? if they give paper people wont use tote instead they will use paper. the same as paperwill happen as far as i know this is the best Eco and money friendly......

  • yes! I definitely suggest that plastic bags should be banned because it is not environmentally friendly and may cause harm to children and water life all around the world.
  • YES! plastic bags should be banned for a list of reasons such as it is unfriendly to the environment and may be harmful to children and water life all around the world and also it takes years for plastic bags to break down and besides we're not even able to recycle them.
  • No, because plastic doesn't break as easily as glass and is water-proof.
  • Plastic bags should be banned because babies can die by putting it over their head, and they use them from USED plastic not new plastic and its gross. Also cloth is better.

Yes they are. The plastic bags can be swallowed by animals and this could cause them to choke and suffocate. The same things goes for plants as they as well could cover them and stop oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter and thus it will wither out and die.

Absoutely not because there are major advancements in the recycling of plastics as a reusable good. Paper causes way more of a negative impact on the environment. Check out http://www.millerpolybags.com/ to see how were working on being environmentally sound.
