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!

Are you saying replace it with paper sacks, returnable glass bottles and paper straws? Great idea....

@nudistsueaz paper bags or reusable market bags, glass jars for food, reusable straws and plastics that don’t leach harmful chemicals

@nudistsueaz yes it did. I
Liked the peanut butter jars that were marked for measuring cups so that they could be saved and used. I have glass pasta sauce jars that are marked that way and jelly jar glasses from Griffin jellies made in Oklahoma and glass mug jelly jars too, great for every day drinks.
