A bag is everything that one needs to make the world a better place. A bag that can be used over and over again, every week, every day, whenever and wherever one wants. A reusable bag saves oneself, the environment, and your wallet, a little bit at a time. Unlike regular plastic bags, this bag won't cut through skin and that is very helpful for people who walk around with a large load of groceries. The cost of a plastic bag has increased in many stores from being free to an entire FIVE cents PER bag. Saving that nickel will eventually add up, and if the bag is shared among neighbors, it can save hundreds of dollars annually*. Plastic is absolutely horrible for the environment. It destroys the landscape , piling ever higher in our landfills. Plastic bags also kill thousands of animals every year, because animals think they are food and after eating it the WILL die**. Furthermore plastic bags do not degrade well and will sit there for a very looooong time. SO if people start using a few reusable bags, we would have several thousand less plastic bags*, floating in the oceans, sitting in the wilderness, and our landfills. I would use this bag every time as it saves me money, and will reduce the number of bags floating around my house, keeping it organized. Plastic bags hurt when there is too much weight in them and they snap easily, and this reusable will solve both of these problems, so I would use this bag anytime. A single bag, that is all it takes to save the lives of animals, keep the environment that much cleaner, and peoples' wallets filled with nickels.

ReplyDeleteThose nickels sound good to me
ReplyDeleteTruly amusing. How do you know that you shouldn't feed them plastic bags, Shan? You've tried it before?
ReplyDeleteNice entry, Shan. I loved the part about not feeding it to animals... so I assume that you've lost a few pets that way?
ReplyDeletea few? O.o or couple million...
