Whether you live in the rural areas or in urban lands, you can able to see the Polyethylene bags everywhere. The usage of plastic bags has been increased by the people in the recent times. This causes harm to both the human beings, animals and the natural environment as well. Lets see some dangerous hazards by the polyethene bags.

These plastic bags when thrown away will flew in air and will spread all over the land surface. In addition to this, they will harm the animal creatures by entering into their mouth while they eat or even they can cause harm by many other means. These polyethylene bags when thrown on open lands will deposit on the soil and will not allow the rain water to penetrate. This will result in the reduction in the ground water level.

When these plastic bags are thrown on the water bodies like oceans, rivers, etc. They will spoil the growth of the living organisms in the water. Also, these plastic bags will stuck in the sea animals body or mouth resulting in the death of the living organisms. Already many sea creatures are in the extinct state. If we continue polluting the water bodies then many living organisms will not become extinct in the upcoming days.

The only way to reduce the plastic wastes is by reusing it or by recycling. As a human being we should take some initiatives to reduce the harms caused by the plastic wastes. This can be done by using some other alternatives instead of plastic materials. You can use cloth bags instead of plastic bags. Thus reduce the plastic usage and save the environment. Even you can save the environment by doing the proper rubbish removal with the help of Quick Wasters.
