Essay: Should plastic bags be banned in supermarkets?

  Should plastic bags be banned in supermarkets? I believe that plastic bags
should be banned from supermarkets because it is just a waste of plastic and
can harm animals. Plastic bags can cause pollution and affect wildlife. 


  Plastic bags and plastic overall are bad for the environment because they kill
animals, and pollute the water. Only 1 per cent of plastic bags are returned to
recycling and 80 per cent of ocean plastic pollution enters the ocean from land,
making the ocean very dangerous for wildlife. When plastic is burned chemicals
can get into the air and cause harm to breathing problems to animals and
humans. 


  Plastic can release harmful chemicals into the soil, this can cause serious
harm to the animals that drink the water. Animals mistake plastic and rubbish
for food and eat it. It is estimated that over the world around 100 million animals
are killed each year. Sea animals can get tangled in plastic, or swallow plastic
causing suffocation. This can happen to turtles, fish, sea birds and much more. 


  Nobody should litter. There are public rubbish bins for people to use all around
the mall and park. Even if there isn’t one around people should wait until they
have found a rubbish bin or wait till they get home. There are many ways to stop
plastic pollution. The easier one is to reduce your plastic usage. Buy a reusable
straw and cup. You can also buy reusable bags for shopping, most supermarkets
now are getting rid of plastic bags and are making you buy your own. 

  Too many animals, sea or land, are dying from plastic pollution.
Millions of animals die each year because of plastic in the ocean. There are
so many easy ways to reduce plastic usage, like reusable straws and cups.

  1. Hello Chloe, i really enjoyed reading your essay. I loved the detail you put in to explain your reasoning's behind why plastic bags should be banned, and i found it to be highly convincing. Next time I recommend that you use a few more sentence styles, as it will improve your essay and not make people bored of reading the same sort of sentences.

  2. Great post, Chloe. Good to see your points are well organized with a rhetorical question to hook the audience. It was also good to see you supported yourself with facts and even an alternative solution.
    You could improve the end of your piece with an imperative statement.
