Do your plastic bags really get recycled? According to The Washington Post, plastic bags cost too much to recycle nearly $4000 for a ton while the resale value of the recycled product is only around $32. A growing trend is to ship them to countries such as India or China, where they can be incinerated under more lax environmental laws.
This is why my wife and I have learned how to turn the used plastic bags into yarn and then crochet mats and reusable handbags out of them. We give the mats to the unhoused as a cushion to sleep on and sell the handbags, giving the profits to a local food pantry. And it's FUN!
even enviromentally sound ppl can accidently litter with a plastic bag. careful disposal is advised cause u never know when the wind z going to kick up. boaters might take note. plastic bags kill marine life and prior to popular belief they can be washed carefully then dried. i don't know if it works in cold climates but it does here in spain
I really like your video and I am doing a speech on recycling plastic. I was wondering if there is any way to put it into my speech. I am more than will to give you credit...is that pssobile?
I was thinking more like, everyone collect a years worth of plastic bags & throw them on the WhiteHouse lawn on the same day.
