Why does plastic bags harm our planet?

Did you know that almost everyday people use single use plastic bags? Not only does single use plastic bags harm our environment, it also harms our planet. These can effect a lot of lives around the world, like sea animals and even people. Now that people know about the causes that single use plastic bags do, shops around the world have been banning them and replacing the single use plastic bags with reusable plastic bags.

The reusable bags can be used over and over again whenever we go out to buy grocery.  If we keep up with the reusable plastic bags, we can change our environment where there wouldn’t be any single use plastic bags. Many people around the world have signed the petition to stop single use plastic bags.

It’s amazing that people have been taking matter in their own hands with the single use plastic bags. The single use plastic bags go to three main places, which are oceans, litter and landfills. It really harms the world, because single use plastic bags break down till 400 years. Over 10 billion plastic bags have been used every year in Earth. The sea animals would be in danger with the single use plastic bags around.

When plastic bags go into oceans the sea animals would eat them, because they think that it is jellyfish, but it's really not. In a few years plenty of sea animals would die, because of us using the single use plastic bags. Also when the plastic bags are around the place, people can get cancer. We have to put a stop to this, so that there is no damage done to our planet. What if in a few years there were single use plastic bags all over the place?.

This is why we shouldn’t use single use plastic bags anymore. Let’s keep our world clean by not using single use plastic bags anymore. We need to reduce the level of single use plastic bags, then lives. If everyone bans these plastic bags, then we can change the world.

This week we got into partners or groups, and checked each others writing samples. We used the PBS writing rubric to see which level we were on. I was with Mele and Marieta for this task. After checking which level we were on, we gave feedback to each other and to our selves, like what we need to work on and what we did good. Above is my writing sample and also my groups feedback and mine.
