Dreadfully a lot. They are non-biodegradable, thus taking up a lot of space. When burnt, they give off poisonous gases which can kill. Some inconsiderate people do not dispose them properly and animals may choke to death when they eat them, or worse still, die painfully after eating it. One of plastic's ingredient is oil, which is non-renewable and in short supply. Indirectly it leads to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Meaning to say, the ozone layer becomes so thin that there are holes, melting the polar ice caps, causing the sea level to rise.

The planet keeps filling up with human beings and those persons are using up such relatively a number of the worldwide's organic factors. some human beings think of it extremely is a humorous tale yet once you think approximately issues like all the plastic baggage, the smog from such relatively some vehicles after which think of roughly how rivers like the Colorado now no longer run their entire course....it extremely is have been given to be obtrusive we would desire to make modifications. i do no longer use plastic baggage. i do no longer likely like using paper the two yet a minimum of they decompose. great question!

plastic bags are poisoness having toxic materials. they are made up of petrol & are thus carbon compounds,but have many other components as well. they cause land degradation,they emit toxic gases which can even cause cancers, supports global warming, can block sewages and other water bodies. when dumped in water bodies cause enormous damage to aquatic animals. they are non-biodegradable. but there many uses also and some of scientists are finding ways by which the plastic bags will no longer remain non-biodegradable.

The people and animals that have died suffocating in them. They don't break down quickly if at all and I have Wal-Mart bags to the ceiling in my pantry. Well, not anymore. I took them all and filled a yard waste sized trash bag and took em back to Wal-Mart...they wouldn't fit in the thing so I just left em...
