The author proves the falsehood of the long known assumption that plastic is a threat to our planet. By citing the research done by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the author convinces his readers that not only are plastic bags not harmful as people think, but also beneficial. This surprises his audience and shows them how exaggerated the cries of environmentalists, which gets the readers wondering what else have they falsely believed in and what other information are paper-bags advocates hiding from them, and that pulls them into the argument and intrigues them further. Additionally, Summers lists the harmful consequences of using reusable bags by presenting research results and observations. This alarms the audience and raises concern in their

Since 1985, America has used plastic bags due to them being waterproof and having handles making them easier to carry goods. Paper and plastic have always been a huge controversy in supermarkets through the preference of customers. Some customers prefer having the paper bags standing up straight in the trunks of their cars. Other customers prefer the plastic bags because of the handles making it easier to walk home and carry their goods. Although both preferences are fine, all customers know the dangers of the plastic bag. Banning plastic bags from stores and replacing them with only paper or reusable bags, will reduce corruption of organic products, reduce CO2 emissions from the creation and destruction of the plastic and prevent harm

Each year there is an increase in demands for plastic bags, and therefore more are shipped, creating further environmental pollution concerns. This increase in demand has lead to the phenomenal upsurge in the use and misuse of plastic bags globally, both in developed and developing countries. Statistics show that 4 to 5 trillion plastic bags are produced per annum, whereby North America and Western Europe account for nearly 80% (Geographical, 2005; Reusable Bags, 2005). Cheeseman (2007) states that approximately “380 billion plastic shopping bags are used in the United States annually”; in turn, only 0.6% of this is recycled.

Continuing with our topic of plastic over consumption and the market, we move on from policy valuation methods to conducting a benefit cost analysis on available strategies. Regulatory impact assessments, or benefit-cost analyses, are sophisticated analytical tools for measuring the benefits and costs associated with a proposed regulation, policy initiative or project, while also evaluating other tradeoffs, such as potential job losses, and other societal impacts. We will narrow down all the possible strategies for reducing plastic consumption, using this as an opportunity to discuss the extreme of government regulation. A market ban on plastic.

Everyone is a murderer. Yes, everyone—parents, brothers, sisters, that one girl in math class named Jenny, the sweet old lady who lives next door—are all murderers. However, the major culprits are the makers and producers of those toxic and foul things they call plastic bags. Don’t believe it? That’s understandable. Not many people know the consequences of their actions; even the ones that killed thousands of sea animals and destroyed the marine environment. Anthony L. Andrady, author of q, has even stated that according to numerous surveys taken around the world consistently demonstrated that plastic materials make up 60-80% of marine debris. That little dolphin or penguin who accidently ingests that one plastic bag will die a slow death because they didn’t know better.

1. How strong is the evidence to support Dr. Splinter’s arguments in favor of the plastic bag ban, and what are the limitations of this evidence? Specific claims are that litter will be noticeably reduced, the drainage system will be less prone to clogging, utilization of the landfill will be reduced, and there will be fewer environmental hazards for endangered wildlife.

Furthermore, plastic bags fill less area

Plastic bags have been a way of life for the last 50 years, and the idea of changing something that has become a staple of our societies grocery stores is unthinkable. As technology increases and society becomes more aware of our environment, the environmental effects of plastic bags have been found to far outweigh the benefits. The main reason behind the negative impact of plastic bags on our environment is the inability to dispose of them in a way that will help eliminate the problem (C.M. Finzi-Quintao, 2016). Burning the bags releases toxic fumes into the atmosphere while landfills hold then indefinitely which has become a worldwide problem with plastics in general. Further, even putting these bags in the recycling bin have shown does not do much good. Nearly all municipalities usually burn or send them off to the landfill regardless due to the expenses needed to recycle this type of plastic due to its difficulty to break down and not being a realistic compound to use for anything else without an overhaul to the facility (Wagner, 2015). Although reversely, the cost of production of paper bags and recyclable bags is something that many do not consider when confronted with the idea of plastic bags and the effects of them on our society. This has led to citizens all over the world to ask themselves if the plastic bag benefits outweigh the costs. Choosing this topic to research stemmed from a common concern as to the environment and the way we are treating it currently, and

Over the last few decades information technology has played an important role in Indian economy. It has affected all the industries especially the banking industry and has provided a way for the banks to differentiate their products and services. The traditional way of financial services delivered to customers called the branch based operations which had been used by the banks for more than 200 years, has been replaced by the advent of multiple technologies and application. For instance, Automated Teller Machine (ATM) displaced cashier tellers, telephone represented by call centers replaced the bank branch, the internet replaced mail, credit cards and electronic cash replaced bank transactions. The reason was the numerous key advantages that banks could gain by providing electronic banking services. In this way they had lower transactions cost, 24 hour trading, more extended business territory and also increased efficiency in daily banking process. The Banking Sector is also facing very stiff competition. In order to succeed such competition, they must offer a wide array of products with the latest technology.
