In the United States there are plastic collection areas in large food chains as well as recycling centers. I use mine for garbage bags.

In my opinion, burning of plastic bags are harmful to the environment. I’ve seen cases where people collect used plastic bags and recycle them. This is much better than dumping them. There should be “plastic collection zones” where people can dispose used plastic materials for recycling.

Sure it makes a difference because when the plastic bags go into the groud they leave toxins.

Oh man this really gives some thinking of the way plastic bags can be harmfull to the enviroment. I wonder if it makes any difference at the junkyard if I use paper bags cause all my plastic bags go to the junkyard with trash.

It was wax coated so it was water proof and it would break down if you buried it. Someone should see how long paper wrapers with wax take to break down also.

What mathematical analysis do you have to contribute to this conversation?

I believe mathematical analysis of the impact of plastic bags on the environment should be accepted too … if the student could obtain some base data on how much energy, water etc goes into creating a plastic bag, that could be multiplied out to find the environmental effect of making as many plastic bags as are consumed each year. The internet shouldn’t make that too hard! I think the disposability and energy input of creating plastic bags is one of their more significant impacts.

The Scottie bags feature a dog and bone shape pattern. The Novelty Wonder Duck, without a doubt, features the signature logo duck of Dooney & Bourke into a colorful pattern. The Large Multi DB and the It bags both have the brand initials in the design, only that in the former, the printed initials come in larger font size than the latter. And the lastly the Fantasy bags’ print design is the brand name itself in different fonts and colors.

Perhaps for any other students doing a project similar to this they could add bio-degradable bags. It’d be interesting to see the amount of time needed before the bags fully break down or even just compare different types of biodegradable bags to examine which ones are most effective and the material they are made of.
