First, we must refer to plastic bags as the tools we have all used at least once in our lives to be able to transport some object to a group of objects in the same medium, ie, plastic bags really have Been very useful for people when transporting things.
If we have to carry with us a large number of belongings, as we would only with our two hands, that is why it is the existence and that is why it is the end before which these plastic bags were created.
Of course, like all tools used by man to cover a need, these plastic bags that are not an end but rather are a means of utilization and serve as a simplification of our actions in our lives, have a monetary cost.
These costs are usually not so high, but they have it, they have a money value that most people can afford. Besides being used as a means to be able to transport things, they are also often used as receivers of garbage, since , are usually placed or are usually disposed inside the rubbish containers so that the waste falls there and not directly into the container Thus making the balls are who receive the waste and simplify the work of collection and cleaning Of garbage and of these containers for those who work in their maintenance.
As we have already appreciated, the benefits of these plastic bags seem to be very good, as far as the personal use we can give them as to the hygienic use we give it as a society. But good ends are not the only ones that have these bags, unconsciously using them are affecting the environment in different ways.
These bags when people leave them lying around, drifting from mother nature begins to have repercussions on all living things that coexist within the most natural environment, there are many animals that have suffocated by trying to play with these bags of plastic, there are many birds that have died since they are in the air with these bags that are propelled by the wind and when being left unintentionally, trapped with them, can not continue flying.
The same happens with the marine animals, these usually get trapped with these bags that are traveling in the depths of the sea, and when not being able to escape from them, they usually become victims much more vulnerable for other fish or marine animals much bigger than them.
There is also the serious problem that any type of animal that consumes them, remain with those bags trapped in your body and bring them severe stomach diseases, and not being able to evacuate them from their bodies, end up being lethal for their lives.
For all these reasons we must begin to minimize its use for a long time.
I Feel for the #animals -- I agree that we humans must think of them more! They are as important as we are, I do not feel we should just go about only thinking of ourselves, on this Planet !
The #marine animals either get caught up in fish net, or wind up w/ #plastic inside them. I have no doubt we can IMPROVE this situation..
Thanks for Yr wise, thoughtful post
Yes, we get convenience from the plastic bags.. but We need to realize we are all "connected". If more people would just have this attitude, it'd be a better world, wouldn't it?
We do need to think of the #environment, as well. Too many thoughtless human beings on this planet - but there are also good ones who recycle.
I agree with you on it, @janashby! Thanks for your great support
