Plastic bags are everywhere. In land fill, choking our waterways, by the roadside and in parks. We can't seem to get away from this constant proliferation of plastic bags in our society.
Considering we use plastic bags for such a short time before we dispose of them, they remain in landfill for approximately one million years...ridiculous.
Granted some do get reused and some get recycled, but the downside is they are a non-renewable resource, highly polluting and expensive to recycle.
Some do get reused, and some do get recycled, but there's still a downside: They're produced with a non-renewable resource, are highly polluting and are expensive to recycle. We have to learn to live without them....
