The government is planning to start an initiative to ban plastic bags and make use of only paper bags or jute bags. However, plastic bags are the cheapest bags available to us while paper bags and jute bags are relatively costly. Which of the following would be most useful to know in determining whether plastic or paper/ jute bags would be a wiser choice? Correct Answer How they’re being disposed of and what is the effect of their disposal methods.

The statement already mentions that the plastic bags are less costly than paper or jute bags, the reason why the government would ban plastic bags is because of the harm they cause to the environment. Shopkeepers too are encouraged by the government to keep only paper bags and not plastic bags. Knowing how plastic bags and paper/jute bags are being disposed of will show us how their disposal methods affect the environment. Plastic bags do not decompose and in fact take many years to decompose and burning them releases harmful gases into the air, while paper or jute bags are easily decomposable thus prove to be a wiser choice.
