Polythene Hazards

India is a developing country. It faces many problems like terrorism, unemployment, AIDS, pollution, etc. These days pollution is the biggest menacing factor to mankind. Pollution is mainly categorised in three parts — air pollution, water pollution and land pollution. Nowadays among the three land pollution is being considered most hazardous.

In the past, plastic and its items were considered boon for the people. First toys were made of plastic, then came utensils, then machine parts and lastly polythene bags. Each and every shop, big or small, was considered useless if it had not polythene bags. It was no doubt easy to carry anything in these polythene bags. Maybe raw or cooked, everything was packed in polythene bags. We could see polythene bags every way, on the roadside, garden drains, etc. There was no end to these bags.

People packed their waste food in these bags and started feeding the animals. Slowly the poison of these bags started to spill. The government realized that polythene bags were the biggest problem on earth. The polythene bags and non-biodegradable, i.e., they cannot be decomposed by micro-organisms into manure. They remain as it is even after many years. Animals who started eating waste food along with these polythene bags ultimately started dying because their internal system was getting blocked. During the rainy season, drains started getting blocked and over-flowed because of these polythene bags. The government had no alternative but to ban the use of polythene bags. First, the city of Haridwar banned the use of polythene bags than some states in India also banned the use of these bags. In 2009, the government of Delhi also banned the use of these bags.

 It is not only the duty of the government to look into this matter but it is also the duty of each and every individual to see that we don’t use these bags. By using these bags we will not only harm the environment but ourselves also. Thus, say ‘No to plastic bags’.
