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.

I love the answer you provided for the young girl. That was a great idea to do that with both types of bags. There is nothing like doing a side by side comparison of bags to show the results in real life situation.

I know plastic bags will not decompose for years. Not sure if any chemicals leak into ground water it might take years for them to break down enough. I never understood why we switched to plastic bags i remember we used paper bags and paper wrapers even for lunch meat. 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.

On this site we try not to give the complete answer to a question, but teach the student to find the answer. For science fair projects the students have to prove their hypothesis, so telling them that plastic bags have proven to be harmful to our planet gives them the answer. Do you have a science fair project idea to help a student to think?
