A solution for plastic bag problem is that you can send a message to your M.P to try and make shops stop using or remove plastic bags and change to reusable bags or use biodegradable bags. The shoppers (meaning you) can carry their own reusable bags; for example cotton canvas bags can be used to carry anything and canvas bags can be washed in the machines.

Plastic bags are harmful to the environment, as they kill 200 thousand animals annually because the animals consider the plastic bag as food and this ruins their digestive system. Another reason why animals die from plastic bags is that when the plastic bags are left around sometimes the animals get strangled in them.
When the plastic bags block the drain pipes this can prevent water from traveling. The streets look dirty when citizens throw plastic bags there without bothering what can happen to the environment. The plastic bags are non-biodegradable and it takes about 1000 years for them to degrade. Do you think there is a street that looks dirty in battlefield because of the plastic bags?
