Decrease the use of plastic bags

lsauia

I think we should decrease the amount of plastic used worldwide and enforce the use of reusable bags. Countries should come together and enforce the use of reusable bags and enforce consequences for countries that don't implement those certain rules.

This is totally agreed, since plastic bags contribute to water pollution such as plastic pollution that kills marine creatures and burning plastic bags add on to air pollution.
Countries like Taiwan forces you to pay for the plastic bag, encouraging the use of reusable bags.

lsauia, I agree with your statement plastic bags are a huge problem worldwide. Enforcing a reusable bag, however, would also be a problem as they cost more money to be put in every store worldwide. Though they would economically be good they would affect the usage of money in further events worldwide if all countries use their own money to support these bags.

I agree that we should reduce our plastic bag consumption. Aside from promoting the usage of reusable bags in stores, I think it would also be a good idea to take existing single-use bags for repurposing. For example, plastic bags can be used to make yarn, which can then be used for creative projects. It’s also important that the right types of reusable bags are promoted, since bags such as cotton bags can actually cause more destruction to our environment!

I totally agree with this, because people in their everyday life use so many plastic bags and then just throw them away and aren't able to reuse them. It takes these bags 1,000 years to decompose witch means that trillions of toxic particles enter our earths soil.

An international system of outlawing plastic bags would have amazing benefits for our environment, but how would it be implemented in developing nations or areas in which plastic bags are infinitely more convenient for a citizen?

Andy Chen

I fully agree that we should utilize fewer plastic bags. In addition to encouraging the use of reusable bags in stores, I believe it would be a good idea to reuse current single-use bags. Additionally, it's critical to promote the proper kinds of reusable bags, as those made of cotton can endanger our environment even more.

Utilizing less one time use resources in general would be great for the environment. This includes electricity instead of gas which is a one time thing. The repercussions for not implementing the plastic bag mandate is a very good idea and should be implemented around the world

I fully agree. I totally agree...we at A3 Studio Web do some social campaigns against pollution.
