*The Killing Machine*
2. Contrary to common opinion, plastics are expensive. Well, it is indeed cheap to produce one, but total cost burdened to retailers who give it for free could amount to USD 4million annually.
3. Plastics make litters. Face it—are we not too lazy to reuse it? Sometimes they got wrinkled, sometimes they’re torn or got a big hole, and sometimes we just lost them. There’s a big chance our plastic bags would end up in dump site, badly needing hundreds of years to decompose. Plastic litters—and it last. It is also revealed that only one percent of all plastic bags out there that are eventually recycled.
pretty nasty o.O
4. Plastics is made from non-renewable resources, that is, crude oil and natural gas. Not to mention that those substances, if imported, would need a long flight from Middle East to eventually arrive in our country.
You may not realize this, but the plastic bags used by human worldwide could pile up up to 500 billion up to 1 trillion each year. Yes, that’s a big number. Should it not be obvious that reducing plastic bags number is something we have to prioritize?
