Biodegradable Bags
Plastic can
take a very, very long time to decay and break down, basically recycle itself
but with the technology and knowledge we now have this is starting to slowly
become a thing of the past which has massive benefits for our planet!
What about my shopping and waste bags!?
It’s not that
bags are disappearing! We are simply making them more eco-friendly and bio
degradable.
Shopping bags have started to take the first step towards becoming greener. I personally don’t see any possible way we could ever remove plastic shopping bags from supermarkets as even the greenest of green person does occasional for get their “bag for life” (which is an good start to be coming greener yourself by the way) but they are also environmentally friendly, well better then what they was anyways. Bags have become thinner which uses fewer materials to manufacture the bag. Supermarkets claim they are just as strong but i beg to differ, in fact that’s a whole new subject!
Moving on to
waste bags or bin liners as they are commonly referred to. This seems to be a
little contradictive. We spend all this time recycling and being careful with
our waste and then we throw other items that can’t be recycled into plastic
bags that take hundreds of years to decompose. Well just like shopping bags
times are changing and being greener is more of a concern than ever before. The
waste we now throw away in our domestic bins and transported of to landfill can
now be put in supermarket bought eco-friendly biodegradable bags meaning less
impact on the environment.
Do Your Bit
This is one
of the simplest things you can do to be green! The cost of eco-friendly bags is
nothing compared to what standard non-biodegradable bags and in appearance they
are no different! The environment gets a helping hand from you with the most
minimum effort (Simply swapping your bags) and you get the satisfaction of
knowing you are being a little bit greener!
