What is the problem with plastic bags?

Plastic bags pose significant environmental issues due to their non-biodegradable nature, leading to long-lasting pollution in landfills and oceans. They contribute to wildlife harm, as animals can ingest or become entangled in them. Additionally, the production and disposal of plastic bags contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. Efforts to reduce their use through bans and alternatives are gaining traction worldwide.
