The use and production of poly bags do a great deal of harm to our environment and drainage system to air, water and soil. In our country thousands of pieces of polythenes are being used everyday. This huge amount of polythene is neither being re-used nor being decomposed by natural way. Most of the bags are just thrown out after its first use. They find their way into the drains. Then the poly bags block our drainage system, barricade regular flow of water obstruct the rainwater flowing into the drains etc.
As a result low-lying areas in the cities frequently go under water. Flood occurs every now and then. Whenever, these poly bags go inside the cultivable land, it loses fertility and crops do not grow in such lands. Poly bags remain unchanged like a curtain through not irrigate water.
Poly bags are burnt to get rid of its direct effect but some emitting from polyfire pollutes our air in a massive way. Such pollution is very harmful for human health. Because of huge use of polythene our traditional jute and cloth bags have lost their market. They are now out of use. Jute and cloth bags can be used several times whereas poly bags are used only once. So poly bags are waste of money.
