(Comptt. Delhi 2010) Environment Unfriendly Polybags By: Amarjeet, Staff Reporter The National HeraldBy: Amarjeet, Statt Keporter ‘a The National Herald AN faly oN, Detnd 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 Tondonana IPhnent thar: will infiioa tha eneranndine aie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.
