The circular economy of the plastic bags that run around in the world, changing hands so often. The mass production of these small bits of plastic are polluting the environment. Spreading awareness of reusing and not just throwing these plastic bags away is very important. Reduce, reuse, recycle. The societal mentality of single use objects is dangerous. Consistently people are using single use plastics for everything. Our day to day lives are filled with plastics like these plastic bags. Everytime we go to grocery stores we take home a couple of these plastic bags. It’s crazy to understand the mass quantities of just plastic bags that are in landfills. They are floating in our oceans and waterways. It makes me worry about the future of our planet. The irreversible destruction created by turning crude oil into plastic will haunt us forever. “Humans took substances from the Earth’s crust and concentrated, altered, and synthesized them into vast quantities of material that cannot safely be returned to soil.” (Braungart, McDonough) This quote explains exactly what the human race has done with the materials we found in front of eyes.
