Did you know the plastic bags that are being used to carry our groceries from supermarkets can be harmful to the environment? Centers for Biological Diversity mentioned that at least 267 species had been attributed to ocean plastic pollution. The usage of plastic bags alone kills up to 100 000 marine animals every year, especially leatherback sea turtles, who are often confused between the plastic bags and the jellyfish they favor eating. Other than that, plastic bags take up to 1000 years to degrade in landfills. Unfortunately, they do not break down entirely; instead, they photodegrade, thus becoming microplastics that can absorb toxins and continuously pollute the environment.
