                          Plastic bags are harmful for the environment.

I strongly believe that plastic bags are harmful for the environment. Do you agree?  

My first reason is that plastic bags are dangerous to animals. Say if there were heaps of plastic bags around animals and they ate it they will choke and die. Won’t that be tragic? added to this, plastic bags are non biodegradable which means that it cannot rot down like other things can rot down. So it’s bad for the animal life. Would that be devastating to people if animals die from plastic bags?  No you would you be heartbroken.

My second reason is that plastic bags are made out of petroleum. Petroleum comes out of the ground. People use big drills to drill it out of the ground. Let’s not get off topic. So, petroleum is the same as petrol, it's dangerous if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life. Would you want all aquatic life to die? No because it would be tragic if aquatic life die from plastic bags?  

My third reason why is that it’s pretty much everywhere. Say if there were dozens of plastic bags in your house get rid of it, it harms the environment. Added to this we will be plastic bag free so that it can’t harm the environment. Do you want plastic bags around you and everywhere? No that would be disgusting.  

In summary  I think that plastic bags are harmful for the environment is that it’s dangerous for animal life, it’s non biodegradable and it’s made out of petroleum which is harmful to people and to aquatic life.
