the plastic bag

Since this blog is my mouthpiece I might just as well give my opinion:

Producing plastic en massa and dumping them in our own surroundings is primitive. Shitting in your own nest. Nothing else. Most animals are a bit more sophisticated than that.

But I like to look at it from the bright side: Seems that people are getting aware of the problem. A lot of countries already put restrains on plastic bags. That's progress.

Personally I'd like to erase the damn thing from my life. There's a dilemma though. Waste-processing companies often expect you to put your trash in a trash bag. A solution might be the decomposable bag. In Finland you can get those in at the check-out in supermarkets nowadays. Getting rid of the plastic bag is all the more reason to recycle: The less stuff that ends up in the 'energy-waste' (=trash bag) the better. Thank God they're collecting paper, cardboard (incl. milk cartons), cans, glass, organic waste, hard plastics... nowadays! Progress.
