Across the United States, nearly all grocery stores provide their customers with plastic grocery bags to carry their groceries. However, both consumers and the environment are encountering considerable problems with these plastic bags. Therefore, it may be more advantageous to switch from using plastic grocery bags to using reusable ones.
The most obvious benefit of reusable bags over plastic bags is that they reduce environmental waste. Reusable bags can be used hundreds of times. Other bags can only be used a few times. Although some consumers reuse the plastic bags that they receive at the grocery store, most people throw the bags away after just one use. Every year between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are thrown into the garbage, where they may take hundreds of years to disintegrate.
Moreover, reusable bags would save grocery stores money. Currently, grocery stores that freely give plastic grocery bags to shoppers have to pay for the bags-the bags are not particularly expensive, but their costs do add up. These costs are often added to the cost of food. By substituting reusable bags for plastic bags, grocery stores could save a significant amount of money, which would most likely result in lower-priced products for consumers.
In addition, using reusable bags as a substitute for plastic bags will help save petroleum. Plastic grocery bags are currently made from petroleum and natural gases. Since petroleum is made into fuel and is becoming more expensive, using petroleum to create plastic bags is a wasteful practice. Reusable bags, on the other hand, will reduce our use of petroleum because the bags will be reused over and over again.
According to the article, in the United States, plastic bags are used by groceries for customers. In this regard, The author states three disadvantages of this approach against superseding reusable bags. Supporting these problems emerged due to using plastic bags, the lecturer states additional information to each argument.
Firstly, it is mentioned in the reading that while reusable bags can be used several times, the plastic bags just are used for one time. According to the fact that plastic lasts in the environment for a long time, it should be an issue for the environment. Supportedly, The lecturer mentions that plastics that take so many years to be decomposed can provide a serious problem for animals.
Secondly, the author puts forward to the point that using plastic bags is not economical. The lecturer then goes on the explain that each customer uses three or four plastic bags for each purchase. while the cost of each plastic bag is low, but when these costs do add up. Therefore, for a supermarket, it takes a huge amount of money to provide these bags
Thirdly, the passage goes on to mention the point that plastic bags are made by petroleum. the increase in consuming plastic bags means the decrease in petroleum savings. In supporting this idea, the lecturer states that this method costs using about 1.6 billion gallons per year. By replacing reusable bags we can remove this huge amount of consumption, which means saving dollars.
