Question 19

Recently, a ban on plastic bags has been imposed in many places. Is the ban justified? Give reasons in three sentences.

Answer 1

There are increasing concerns about the use of plastics in our day-to-day lives. The recent ban on plastic bags is justified because:

(i) The resources used to create the bags are scarce.

(ii) They harm the environment when disposed off improperly and also they are contributing to roadside litter.

(iii) Cost of disposing or recycling them is high, as they are non-biodegradable.
