What Animals Are Hurt Most by Single-Use Plastic Bags?
Disposable plastic shopping bags have a serious environmental impact especially as far as wildlife is concerned. Litter in general is a problem and single use plastic shopping bags pose a major risk because they do not completely break down. The thin film disposable plastic bags are constructed from, makes them lightweight enough that they can easily be moved by a gentle breeze or a water current but because they are plastic, they can withstand the elements and stick around basically forever. Between damage caused to habitats and to animals themselves single-use plastic bags are a severe problem.
