Banning the use of plastic bags can help raise environmental awareness. The widespread use of plastic bags has caused serious environmental problems, such as pollution of water sources and harm to wildlife. By prohibiting their use, people are forced to seek alternatives, such as reusable bags or paper bags. This can help individuals recognize the impact of their actions on the environment and encourage them to adopt more sustainable practices. In turn, this can lead to greater awareness and action towards protecting our planet for future generations.
