Response in English: The environmental impact of plastic bags is quite significant and can cause lasting harm to natural habitats and wildlife.First, plastic bags are made from non-renewable fossil fuels, meaning that their production contributes to the depletion of this resource and the release of greenhouse gases. The manufacturing process itself also uses large amounts of water and energy.Once discarded, plastic bags can take hundreds of years to decompose, meaning that they linger in the environment for a long time. When not disposed of properly, they often end up in the ocean or littering natural landscapes. In the ocean, plastic bags can harm or even kill marine life, such as sea turtles, seals, and fish, who mistake them for food or become entangled in them. On land, plastic bags can clog drainage systems and harm wildlife.In addition, plastic bags often break down into smaller pieces, called microplastics, which can have a devastating impact on marine ecosystems. Microplastics can be ingested by even the smallest sea creatures, entering the food chain and eventually making their way onto our plates.Recycling plastic bags is possible, but it is not always easy to find facilities that accept them, and the process itself is energy-intensive. As a result, many plastic bags end up in landfills, where they can release harmful chemicals into the soil and groundwater.Overall, the environmental impact of plastic bags is quite severe, highlighting the importance of reducing our reliance on them and finding more sustainable alternatives. .
