What will happen if you dont choose plastic bags made of fully degradable materials?

Plastic bags do bring some convenience to our lives, but this temporary convenience may bring long-term harm. Plastic bags have low recycling value and cannot be biodegradable. In addition to "visual pollution" caused by scattered in city streets, tourist spots, water bodies, and both sides of roads and railways, plastic bags also have potential hazards. Plastic structure is stable, not easy to be degraded by natural microorganisms, in the medium and long-term natural environment does not separate. That is to say, if not recycled, plastic waste will exist in the environment for a long time, become a pollutant, and continue to accumulate, causing great harm to the environment.

It is to affect agricultural production. Waste plastic products continue to mix into the soil, will affect the absorption of nutrients and water crops, resulting in crop production.

Second, the survival of animals is threatened. Waste plastic products are discarded on land or in water and eaten by animals as food, causing death. Last year, 20 families of herdsmen died after nearly 1,000 sheep were found near Qinghai Lake, causing economic losses of more than 300,000 yuan. Sheep like to eat the oily residue wrapped in plastic bags, but often eat them together. Trapped in plastic bags for so long that it is difficult to digest, the sheep's stomachs are so full that they can no longer eat, and eventually they starve to death. It happens all the time in zoos, pastures, the countryside, the ocean.

Third, plastic waste landfill not only occupies a large amount of land, and the occupied land can not be recovered for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land. Such as waste plastic products into the domestic garbage landfill, 200 years not completely degraded. Changes in soil pH affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, leading to agricultural production and great harm to the land. As for plastic products discarded in water or on land, they not only affect the environment, but also lead to death if passively swallowed. This will destroy the ecological balance.
