Banning Plastic Bags

This morning on the documentry channel I watched a film about plastic bags.I couldn't believe how bad they are to our wildlife,in india it showed a cow that was sick and the vet was cleaning out it's stomach and they pulled out 20 pounds of plastic from this animal,the streets are full of garbage and the animals try and eat it.The bags are a perfect breeing ground for mosquitos because the water doesn't go through them and they form puttles,there is so much disease because the sewers get clogged up and all the germs are being exposed to the people.The mosquitos pass on malaria to the people so this is where a lot of it comes from.They are banning certain types of plastic there,the cops will literally go through the market and seize these bags and they also get fined big bucks,I think they should ban plastic bags everywhere.It showed a team of vets who get sick turtles off the shore and when they open up the turtles inside they have bags attatched to there organs,the turtles think the bags are jellyfish and when they eat them this is what causes them to die.A woman went scuba diving and on the ocean floor she picked up more than 50 bags,these poor animals are suffering because of us as humans littering,I was so shocked with this film,it made me look at the use of bags in a total different perspective.In a lot of countries bags are being banned,I hope that this happens here,I baught 5 reusable bags from the grocery store,I plan on making a change and I talked to my family about doing the same,it's good for our environment and wildlife,I really hope that other people will make a change for the better,something needs to be done before it's to late.
