Plastic bag Explanation

Do you know what plastic bags are they are basically a thin bag that you can find at your locally shops to carry items you have brought. I am here today to talk to you about how plastic bags aren't really good for our planet earth and how we can care for our earth more better. Sea life think plastic bags are food because it would be floating around on the sea. A Single use plastics bag means plastic bag only used once and then thrown into the bin. 160,000 plastic bag are used globally every second. Did you know that it takes more than 400 years to drecress plastic bags. This is why l think we should start using reusable bags so every time we go shopping we don´t buy plastic bags we use the same bag every time we go shopping. Reusable bag are great because they won't end up in seas like plastic bags. Would you rather use plastics Bags or reusable bags. I think l would use a reusable bag because l would not want to pollute our precious marine life and cause them serious harm and so that earth won't get worse throughout the many years. it's obvious that we need to use less plastic bags to move towards environmentally using reusable bags and recycle plastic more often . feel like l would start using reusable bags even though l know would´t keep on bring the reusable bag every time l go shopping l could carry items or push my grogeces in a cart to my car. This is how l know that l wasn't harming sea life. What would you say if some asked you this question would you rather keep on harming our sea life and destroyed our planet or car for our planet earth and try to stop using plastic bags. Others thing that we should use plastic bags because they are easier to carry our items in when going shopping and don't really know where they end up. Landfills mostly only get filled with plastic because of how much people around the world that use plastic bags. I hope this taught you about how plastic bags aren't and how they affect our planet earth.
