=== Why Plastic Bags Are a Problem ===
Plastic bags might seem convenient, but they pose '''serious environmental threats''':

* '''Non-biodegradable:''' Plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
* '''Marine pollution:''' Over 100,000 marine animals die annually from plastic entanglement or ingestion.
* '''Microplastics:''' As plastic bags degrade, they break into microplastics, entering the food chain and harming ecosystems and human health.
* '''Littering and Landfill Overflow:''' Plastic bags often clog drains, pollute landscapes, and contribute to overflowing landfills.
