Nevertheless, the use of paper bags rather than plastic bags is still advocated. There are numerous reasons for this choice. Plastic is non-degradable. It does not decompose thereby only breaking into smaller pieces and littering the environment. Plastic is also toxic in nature. Plastic that is unable to decompose may be eaten by animals who mistake them for victuals. On consuming these animals, human being may be adversely affected, as they also take in the toxic content of plastic that stays in the animal body. There have been instances where plastic has even choked drainages and caused floods. Paper, on the other hand, decomposes easily and can be used over and over again.
