The invention of plastic/poly bags has made life comfortable, But the use of poly bags is a great threat to our environment. As the poly bags are very cheap, people do not think at all about throwing away the bags here and thereafter using them. So we can say that the main cause of polythene pollution is the throwing away of poly bags here and there. These create a lot of problems. First, people use and throw them into canals in drains. Then these bags block sewers and ultimately resist the regular Show of drain water. Second, polythene is not biodegradable. As a result, it is not mixed with soil. It remains unchanged year after year. It is a great obstacle to the fertility of the soil. Third, we cannot recycle it easily. If it is burnt, the smoke which comes from it causes cancer and many kinds of skin diseases. So we should avoid using poly bags. Considering all these, the government of Bangladesh has made a law against the production and the sale of poly bags. The government has banned polythene shopping bags. If anybody violates this law, s/he is punished But this law is not exercised fully. However, many procedures do not produce poly bags for fear of punishment. We should bear in mind that the use of poly bags threats in our environment.
