I'm really happy that many countries ban the use of plastic bags.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

Why? They are so convenient.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

They are convenient, but they also create a lot of pollution when they are produced, as well as a lot of trash.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

I don't think a plastic bag or two really matters. They get recycled.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

If everybody uses just a couple of bags a week, then that makes more than a hundred bags a year.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

But so what? As long as they get recycled, then I don't see the problem.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

But they don't always get recycled, and even if they do, it uses a lot of energy. And plastic can't be infinitely recycled like glass.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

I don't know. I haven't really thought about it that way.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

Many people don't. That's why the ban on plastic bags is great. It makes people think.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

You do have a point. I guess I'm just too lazy to bring my cotton bags with me every time I go shopping.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

I just bring a big box. It's much easier to carry my groceries anyways.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/englisch-lernen/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

You are like my voice of reason. I'll have to make a bigger effort.
