Exposition+Topic+-+Plastic+Bags

I think that the use of plastic bags in St. Helens is much too high. It needs to rapidly decrease! Plastic bags are very bad for the environment. It also is very dangerous to sea life around St. Helens, because if you drop a plastic bag it automatically turns into litter which can blow into the ocean and can choke, strangle and kill sea animals. I think that local stores around St. Helens should provide you with calico bags instead of plastic bags. I understand that your average plastic bag can come in handy around the house to line rubbish bins and carry wet clothes, but larger plastic bags can be purchased from your local supermarket. An average plastic bag can take up to 1000 years to disintegrate and if it is swallowed by any animal is also highly dangerous, as I have already mentioned. Everybody and everything deserves to live in a world with out plastic bags! Briony Allen12 St. Helens District High School :)
