Plastic bags clog drains and waterways. Drainage systems blocked by plastic bags have been identified as a major cause of flooding. Floods destroy homes, cause traffic, mudslides and they also create breeding grounds for water born diseases, malaria, and dengue fever.
That being said, we must stop the use of plastic bags. It’s not easy, but doable.

Use canvas bags for shopping and grocery
Use old rags or cut cloth as a relief good bag
