Short Paragraph on the Harmful Effects of Polythene

Polythene is a thin plastic material used for making bags, wrappers, and packets. We use polythene bags almost every day for shopping and carrying things. But polythene is very harmful to our environment. Polythene does not rot or dissolve in the soil. It stays in the ground for hundreds of years. When polythene bags are thrown here and there, they block the drains. As a result, water stands on the roads after rain and we face waterlogging. Farmers plough polythene pieces into the soil, and this makes the land less fertile. Cows and other animals eat polythene with their food and become sick, and many of them die. When we burn polythene, it gives out poisonous smoke that is bad for our lungs. Polythene also pollutes our rivers and makes the water dirty. So we should stop using polythene bags. We should use jute bags, paper bags, or cloth bags instead. The government has already banned polythene in many places. We should all follow the law and keep our environment clean and safe.

Polythene is a type of plastic that we use to make bags, packets, and wrappers. It is very cheap and light, so people use it everywhere. But polythene causes great harm to our environment and to our health. The biggest problem is that polythene does not rot or dissolve in the soil. It stays underground for hundreds of years. When people throw polythene bags on the streets, they block the drains. As a result, water gathers on the roads during rain, and we suffer from waterlogging. Polythene also makes our soil less fertile. When farmers mix polythene pieces with the soil, crops cannot grow well. Animals suffer most from polythene. Cows, goats, and other animals eat polythene bags with their food and become seriously ill, and many of them die. When we burn polythene, it releases poisonous smoke that harms our lungs and eyes. Polythene also pollutes our rivers and canals. Fishes die when they swallow small pieces of polythene. Even the food we buy is often wrapped in polythene, which is not safe for our health. So we should stop using polythene bags completely. We should use jute bags, cloth bags, and paper bags instead. The government has already banned polythene in many areas, and we should obey this law. Shopkeepers should not give polythene bags, and customers should not ask for them. We should also throw our rubbish in dustbins, not in the streets. Polythene is a silent killer of our environment. If we do not stop using it today, our land, water, and air will become more polluted tomorrow. We must remember that a clean environment is our right and our responsibility.
