plastic bag unit

While plastic bags are on their way out, with cities everywhere imposing bans or fees, we'll be dealing with the buggers for a long time.

Therefore my first unit will be all about how to use plastic bags! I don't encourage you to acquire more plastic bags from stores, but everyone has friends you can steal them from ;-)


This disturbingly beautiful image was pulled from a British news article, entitled banish the bags. I think it's a good overview of the effect of trash, especially plastic bags, on wildlife.

P.S. I'm not going into the details of why plastic bags are harmful, or why I think the a bag tax/ban is beneficial (because it makes me feel like a preachy environmental extremist) but I do know a lot about the subject and would be happy to answer any questions or enter into a debate, as long as no one calls me a preachy environmental extremist :-(
