Plastic bags or plastic in general has been a huge problem for our environment for years; affecting the life of many living creatures as they get into soil and slowly release toxic chemicals into the air which takes nearly a thousand years to eventually break down. 

People should still be welcome if they recycle their own plastic bags, but overall stores should put an end to handing them out so it reduces the risk of taking the life of innocent creatures and harming the Earth’s atmosphere. Instead, paper bags should be used, according to www.saveonenergy.com since it will take 2-6 weeks to decompose rather than 1,000 years for a small plastic bag, yet along millions that are used every month.

In conclusion, please sign this petition if you agree to reducing the climate change, and decreasing health risks and animals dying every second due to the essential crisis.
