Plastic bags should be banned

Although not everybody would agree, I want to say that Plastic Bags should be BANNED!

 If plastic bags are not put in the right place after use, it might end up in the ocean. When the turtles might think that it is jellyfish which is their favourite food and they will eat it. Once they eat it they will come up to the surface DEAD!!

I have several other reasons for arguing this point of view. My first reason is that plastic bags or any kind of rubbish will end up in the ocean or in the landfill if they are not disposed of correctly. Therefore it is very important to dispose of these things in the correct places.

My second reason is that plastic bags can be very very dangerous to very little children. Children are very playful so if they see a plastic bag they would just grab it and pretend it is a kite or put it over their head which could cause suffocation if their heads stay inside the plastic bag too long. If there were no plastic bags at all, then this problem would never come up and we will not lose any children.

My last reason is that every time I walk out of the shop the plastic bag rips by the handle or down the bottom and then the groceries fall,  and some of the groceries become rubbish and it adds to the environmental pollution.

Therefore some people might argue that plastic bags should not be banned  but I strongly believe that plastic bags should be banned if you consider the reasons I have discussed. I am sure everyone will say no to plastic bags and start using reusable bags that will not pollute our environment.
