POLLUTING PLASTIC BAGS
The government in China makes the plastic bag making company shut down because plastic bags are made out of polyethylene a thermoplastic made from oil. When plastic bags are dumped in landfills they can go anaerobic producing methane (a powerful greenhouse gas). But not all plastic bags are evil apparently. New technologies developed by a UK-based company Symphony Environmental Technologies, made plastics far more eco-friendly and manufactured a pro-degradant additive (called d2w) which, when added to polyethylene during production, transforms it into an oxo-biodegradable product. In most cases it takes these bags two years to break down, allowing even small fragments to be consumed by micro-organisms who are able to access the carbon and hydrogen.
P- Plastic bag makers shut down
L- Less use of plastic bags can help
A- All we have is full of plastics that can be reused which we don’t
S- Saving plastic bags and reusing them saves the environment
T- Trying to help he environment
I- Impossible to break down
C- Carbon dioxide being released tons to the atmosphere
B- Bangladesh has banned plastic bags earlier to prevent this pollution
A- All we can do is not ban plastic bags to protect us from the plastic bag maker that makes more and more
G- Government turns the plastic bag makers out of job to save the environment
