Plastic bags are very dangerous.
(Baonghean.vn) - I have to admit that plastic bags are really convenient. You can put everything in them. From a handful of vegetables, a fish, a piece of meat to clothes and books, everything can be put in a "plastic bag". Plastic bags also come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes...
Every time we go to the market, processed or fresh food is put in plastic bags; big, small, green, red… everything. A woman going to the market will always have about 5-10 plastic bags to bring home. Many people in the village also “save” plastic bags to use gradually when needed.
Unlike in the past, whenever we needed to wrap something, we had to cut banana leaves, turmeric leaves, and dong leaves.

It's not like that, folks!Its effects are terrible.Here, I read online that they analyzed plastic bags like this:
“Plastic bags, flexible plastic bags, nylon bags, plastic bags are a type of packaging made of plastic film, plastic, thermoplastic. Plastic bags, including bags made of nylon, PVC, PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), Polymers and other plastics are commonly used to contain and transport goods such as food, products, powders, ice, magazines, chemicals and waste. It is a common form of packaging.
Many countries are introducing legislation to phase out lightweight plastic bags, as the biodegradation of plastic bags can take 10 to 20 years in the marine environment, or more than 500 years in the terrestrial environment, causing plastic pollution and environmental impacts. Every year, between 1 and 5 trillion plastic bags are used and discarded worldwide.”
Because plastic bags are very difficult to decompose in both water and soil, they cause great harm. Many scientists have confirmed that when buried underground, some types of plastic bags take 5,000 years to decompose. Scary. In the water environment, many types of fish have died from swallowing or getting caught in plastic bags; and in the fields, plastic bags prevent plants from growing. When we put hot food in plastic bags, it easily creates substances that cause disease in the body. In particular, if plastic bags are burned in the usual way, it will create dioxin, which causes cancer. Yet for a long time, our people have gathered plastic bags in one place and burned them, causing smoke to spread throughout the village.
So, we have to find a waytake plastic bags out of life, limit the use of plastic bags to the lowest level to protect the environment. We use bamboo and rattan products which are very safe and in line with the trend that the world is recommending.
