Fantastic Plastic

I am not against the use of plastic bags. I think they are just cool. At least thick and durable ones, with a high rate of microns.

Paper bags tear easily, and the trees that went into making them eventually get wasted. Cloth bags need to be washed regularly which entails usage of more water and soap. I think it is better for the environment if we used plastic effectively, that way we might just save the planet more trees and water.

Use plastic bags over and over again. Wipe them clean if required. But ensure optimal use of its durability. Use torn paper bags to create compost for organic gardening. Or see if they can be used as tissue anywhere.    

Find ways to use things to their last shred before you head for the trashcan. Resources are not scarce, they are limited. We can not and must not WASTE.

TIP: Use old discoloured hair clips as snack-bag clips to keep your snacks fresh and crisp.
