What's in Your Bag?
Do you carry groceries in disposable bags that are thrown away after one use? Or do you carry groceries in reusable bags to be used multiple times? Both kinds of bags have benefits and drawbacks.
Disposable plastic bags and paper bags are lightweight. They can be recycled, or they can be reused around the home. For example, plastic bags can line trash cans, and paper bags can cover textbooks.
Despite these advantages, most experts agree that disposable bags harm the environment. Sea turtles and other marine animals choke on plastic bags drifting in oceans. In landfills, recycled plastic bags take hundreds of years to break down. As plastic breaks down, it releases poisonous materials into the soil and water. And disposable paper bags are not faultless. Millions of trees are cut down annually to make paper bags. Making paper bags uses more energy and create more pollution than making plastic bags does.
Reusable cloth, nylon, or canvas bags are better for the environment. They reduce waste and save energy. Compared to flimsy disposable bags, they are stronger, last longer, and hold more items. Unlike disposables, reusable bags come in different sizes, colors, and styles.
However, reusable bags are less convenient. They can be bulky to store, and they have to be washed. Also shoppers may forget to bring them to the supermarket.
According to this article, the use of reusable bags protects the environment, while the use of disposable bags...
negatively affects the environment
also protects the environment
improves the environment
has no impact on the environment
