Little Change... Big Difference

Band plastic bags everywhere

Paper doesn't decompsoe as easy as people think. What happens is their is not enough air to keeo the microbes alive that decompose it.

The very BEST method is using those canvas bags. You get thousands of uses out of one of those bags versus one use or even two or three with paper.

Paper also uses more enegry, trees, and creates more waste than they benefit actually. Making them nearly as bad as plastic to use.

For trash we need enegry plants that burn it as fuel using plasma.

Humans have turned earth into a waste land. :/

yeah sure.... then do you forget about the other populations. Narrow minded

LOL please, don't blame this problem on the immigrants. I find it funny that people need to be told to re-use their grocery bags because my immigrant family has been doing that for the entire 25 years they've been in this country. Immigrants probably leave much smaller carbon footprints than native-born Americans because they didn't grow up in a culture of consumption and are used to preserving everything they have.

that so good, i think we have to used paper bags, to decrease garbage (well papers can be recycle) thats why:)

you go man! tumbs up for you! this video will help tons of people!!!

It may be small, but it is a step in a good direction. The FDA has a lot to do with individual packaging- hygiene for one. One small step by every individual is better than none. Changes and improvements do not happen overnight.

that is a great idea. Paper will decompose but plastic does not.

This is the second war in Iraq. Don't forget the Gulf. I just find it amazing, though, how this bandwagon effect works. Did anyone care about the effects of plastic bags ten years ago? Hardly. We've shifted focus from what really matters in maintaining our lives in the short term. It just seems that our priorities are far too messed up.
