Trash Bags to Hand Bags How-to (2)

I just wanted to say thanks to all that are trying to solve the problems we have in the world today. You guys are awesome for saving the planet as well as saving precious little animals. WAY TO GO>>

I use paper instead of wax paper.

I did not know that melbourne is a country :)
First step- plasticbagf should be more expensive and have to be payed in the shop- like in Germany.

Melbourne,Australia has not banned the use of plastic bags as you say in your videos.
Some traders ( 1 or 2 ) are in fact charging 10cents per bag that you use. We pay about $2 per cloth bag as we all have to do our bit for the future. As per usual big companies make the changes not governments legislation.
Sorry to let you know as we all should do more and maybe your vid's will help I for one stand beside you in your quest to save our planet.
Sorry

what an awesome project & a great way to use the trash I find along the road. this is what I'll be making as my holiday gifts in '09. Thank you & keep up the great work!

what a wonderful idea. a long time ago i purchased a big tee shirt Iron and it would be perfect for this project. the kind that you see at state fairs.

I know that the Wal-Mart bags and the majority or grocery store bags are HDPE (high-density polyethylene, marked with a #2), but in my area, the Target stores use LDPE (low-density polyethylene, marked with a #4).

When people handle the plastic in the video, it sounds like HDPE (HDPE just sort of sounds "crinklier" than LDPE). But I see you use bags from both Wal-Mart and Target. Does it matter if they are HDPE or LDPE? Or are the Target bags you use made of HDPE?

Hi Pip, As it turns out both work great (#2 and #4). They also melt to each other great too.  There are some plastic that are more like cellophane which do not work. Brad

The netting is going great! Take a look at that video here on youtube.  Brad
