no , all though plastic bags are a issue for the environment it’s not a very big change. Reasons such as people littering and throwing out plastic bottles , bowls, cups , trash. Yes it would help in a very small way but not much at all if you think about everything.

Answer:

In the bigger picture, no.

Step-by-step explanation:

While plastic is very non bio-degradable, replacing plastic bags with paper bags would have a very small impact on the environment if any at all, depending on what paper would be used.
