Plastic is harmful because chemicals present in plastic which give them rigidity are poisons that repel water and stick to petroleum based objects. Think once,are you not polluting? Yes, of course we are polluting our surrounding. We can carry a hand bag made of jute or cloth when we are going to market but we most of us don’t. India’s many states have banned this harmful plastic.
