Question:

An opposing argument against plastic bags!?

i mistakenly asked for an opposing argument FOR plastic bags! but i'm actually AGAINST plastic bags! and i need help! its for my english paper! please and thank you.

Answer:

Personally, I will miss plastic grocery bags when I can no-longer get them. I use them for my garbage, my kitty litter cleanings, and more. It has been a long time since I've purchased a plastic bag for any reason. Chances are, if the grocery plastic bags fully go away I will have to consider actually buying them. However, as we decrease the use of plastic, grocery shopping bags we seem ot be increasing the use of plastic produce and meat packaging bags in our area....I can certainly use these for kitty litter cleanings particularly when coupled with the increased number of non-recyclable food containers found on my grocery shelves. I could probably use the combination of the two for my other wet garbage too. Recyclable or not, I sure do see an increase of plastic food containers throughout my grocery stores. Its virtually impossible to find refrigerated or unrefrigerated juice, apple sauce, salad dressing, mayo, and so many other products in anything other than a plastic container. I also see a tremendous increase of non-recyclable plastic (at least in my generally immediate area) on and around virtually everything else I buy outside the grocery store too. I'm finding that a number of other, larger items come packaged in plastic bags within their boxes. So far, with minimal networking, I've been able to gather a number to meet some of my plastic bag wants and uses...It helps that people feel good that they will get a second use. Maybe as we increase the use of plastic bags in every aspect of packaging outside of the grocery check-out line, I will still be able to meet my usage demands with minimal effort or life-style alteration. However, I'm finding that there are folks who have completely switched to Re-usable bags beginning to realize that they did use their plastic grocery sacks more than they thought; they are already networking for others discards. When the discards become all the more scarce, their value is likely to increase.
Rockefeller education at is best.
I think you have the easy part of the argument... It's annoying to me when a cashier puts my ONE item in a plastic bag.... I carried it to the counter, why wouldn't I carry it to my car ?
it's easy! see, plastic bags are made of plastic and plastic doesnt easily decompose Plastic bottles take 700 years before they begin to decompose in a landfill. so, plastic items are just gonna keep building up in landfills its like overflowing, so too much plastic isnt good 4 the earth! it just keeps taking up more space !
difficult aspect. research on to google. that could help!
