Plastic bags - Coggle Diagram

- - - - For example, plastic bags which are free are also often use as for example, to throw their rubbish in when rubbish bins are not anywhere nearby, thus, when plastic bags are banned, the poor will need to specially buy trash bags which are considered expensive to them, so, more money will be spent and this may result in lesser money left for them to buy their food and necessities.
        
        Therefore, plastic bags should not be banned as this would cause negative impacts such as lesser food and items for the poor as they will have lesser money because they will have to spend money on bags like reusable bags and trash bags which are not free of charge.
  - - - The Reason Foundation article stated that reusing bags in the warmer months could lead to an increase in bacteria.
        
        Thus plastic bags should not be banned as they are more sanitary than reusable bags as they contain lesser bacteria and germs, therefore, there will be a lesser spread of bacteria and germs.
  - - - For example, there was this one time when it was raining heavily and I had to run home from the nearby supermarket as I had no umbrella. I was holding many plastic bags full of groceries when running back home and was worried that the plastic bag might tear or the rainwater might have seeped into the plastic bags, thus causing the food to be soggy. However, when I reached home, suprisingly, I found that none of the bags have torn and most of the food were dry and not affected by the rain.
        
        Thus, plastic bags should not be banned as they are durable and they hardly tear, they are also weatherproof and will protect items in it from rain or water.
- - - - For example, in Bangladesh, water drainage channels and sewers in urban areas are especially polluted by discarded plastic bags, they clog the channels and sewers and as a result, when the monsoon rain comes, water cannot flow through the channels and sewers, thus causing floods and this is a problem that residents in Bangladesh have been facing for two decades when it is the monsoon season because of plastic bags.
        
        Thus, plastic bags should be banned as they result in pollution of land and water that is harmful towards nature and can result in problems such as flood which could kill and injure people.
  - - - In the United States, up to 12 million barrels of oil are used each year to produce up to 100 billion and more plastic bags.
        
        Thus, plastic bags should be banned as the making of plastic bags which includes the use of non-renewable resources will contribute to global warming and cause harmful damage to the world.
  - - - A study from Green Tumble found that almost 35% of turtle deaths are caused by the turtles ingesting plastic.
        
        Thus, plastic bags should be banned as they are harmful to marine life and may even kill them, therefore, to protect the marine animals in the world, it is important to stop the use of plastic bags so that littering of plastic bags into the sea will no longer happen.
