an0urWhat happens when the polythene bag is left to itself? |

Answer» Polythene bags tend to disrupt the environment in a serious way. They get into soil and slowly release toxic chemicals. They eventually break down into the soil, with the unfortunate result being that animals eat them and often choke and die.Plastic waste is one of many types of wastes that take too long to decompose. Normally, plastic items can take up to 1000 years to decompose in landfills. But plastic bags we use in our everyday life take 10-1000 years to decompose, while plastic bottles can take 450 years or more.The process may actually take over 1000 years, since plastic does not technically biodegrade and some types need UV light to break down. So it is possible that your grocery bag will be harming human health and the planet for the next 30 generations to come. At least no one can say you didn't leave your mark |
