The "evil deeds" of plastic bags polluting the environment:
1. The time required for natural decomposition is long: 200 years.
2. Burning them produces harmful gases.
3. They pollute the surrounding environment.
...
There are countless such 'evil deeds'!!!!
Currently, the global campaign to ban plastic bags is in full swing. - According to estimates by the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, the country currently uses 1 billion supermarket plastic shopping bags every day, and the usage of other types of plastic bags exceeds 2 billion, reaching 365 billion and 730 billion respectively per year... The damage to the Earth is shocking. Last month, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice titled "Restricting the Production, Sale, and Use of Plastic Shopping Bags," stipulating that starting from June 1, 2008, nationwide, the production, sale, and use of ultra-thin plastic shopping bags will be banned, and no free plastic shopping bags will be provided in all supermarkets, malls, farmers' markets, and other retail establishments.
The Rise of Alternatives: - Non-woven Fabric.
The raw material for non-woven fabric is polypropylene, which has an unstable chemical structure, making it easy for molecular chains to break, allowing for effective degradation. It enters the next stage of environmental circulation in a non-toxic form, and a non-woven fabric shopping bag can completely decompose within 90 days. Due to its lightness, water resistance, durability, environmental friendliness, and economy, most regions around the world use non-woven fabric to make shopping bags. What replaces them are mainly reusable "eco-friendly shopping bags" made from non-woven fabric.

People worldwide have a firm determination, and the 'execution' of plastic bags is inevitable...
