Should plastic be banned?

I think it’s a good question. Nowadays, we shouldn't ban plastic because it’s really necessary for consuming all kinds of things, such as food, envelopes and different items. I don’t see that plastic could be replaced with another recycled material in a short period of time .
The main problem is how much plastic we recycle, and how much plastic waste is recollected, separated and recycled. It’s well known that there are tons of plastic waste floating in our oceans which is a big problem. The percentage of recycled plastic around the world is growing day after day. Although people have started to be conscious that separating their garbage is really important, This is not enough. Besides, What’s going on with years without any plastic recycling? Are governments interested in spending a lot of money hiring some companies which may collect the plastic in the ocean or in different spots around the world?
Unfortunately, in my opinion, the answer is NO. Furthermore, plastic waste will accumulate tons of garbage every day in a strange rhythm that little by little will have “eaten” our natural reserves of water and food. This will pollute our rivers, oceans and earth.
I appreciate your own opinion of this topic and add new ideas! Bye!

I think we should be looking into using the types that don’t leach harmful chemicals in the food supply etc
