Plastic bags are a major environmental problem as they are non-biodegradable and take hundreds of years to decompose.

Plastic Bags Impact on Environment

yes, they are a serious problem. They break down into micro sizes and animals eat them and we eat the animals. One of my friends collected plastic bags/sheets for a buddy bench. It took 500 lbs. that is a lot of plastic. And some of those bags are not recyclable. When they are coated you can not recycle the same way. I wish I had a better understanding how recycling the stuff works.
