| description | Thousands of plastic factories are producing tons of plastic bags which are very popularly used
by the people for shopping purposes because of its ease, cheapness and convenience of use but
their very hazardous negative impact is never highlighted or, at the very least, openly discussed
in a more serious tone. Many countries have banned plastic bags due to public concern over the
serious negative impact on the environment and agriculture, especially, in agricultural
countries, such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, etc. In this research paper,
qualitative research methodology has been used to analyze our ideas based on literature review
and interview from experts. The paper focuses on the sustainable agricultural and economic
development by finding out alternatives to the use of ever harmful plastic bags.
Key words: Plastic bags, environmental degradation, impact |
