I took some pictures of people using a bunch of plastic bags at the grocery store. Some are kinda far away because I was trying to be discreet.
I also took some pictures of the plastic bags we had in my house.
At my house, plastic bags are kept in the hanging thing (I don't know the name for it) usually until they are used for something that is thrown away. So we don't recycle plastic bags at my house.
I did notice many different ways some places are trying to be more green with their bags. Some places have recycling for plastic bags and sell reusable bags.
I took a picture of my family using reusable bags shopping. However, I didn't see anyone else using reusable bags.
Plastic and paper bags are a big environmental concern. People are starting to take little steps to use eco-friendly bags. Reusable bags are being sold at many places now, however I still hardly see anyone using them. I hope more people recycle paper and plastic bags if they don't have reusable ones.
This was really interesting. It is very alarming how many people are still using plastic bags but I guess change can take a long time sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love how you convinced your mom to use the Re-usalbe bags. That is really awesome my parents still struggle with that. Also its nice to see that they are putting up more places for you to recycle your old plastic bags.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of people who use plastic bags is ridiculous, re-usable bags do take up a bit of space but not much more than a bunch of crumpled up plastic bags. I need to go recycle all of the plastic bags my roommates have laying around the house.
