Stop the plastic bag before it kills us!

HOW PLASTIC BAGS ARE
MADE?
Plastic bags are made from high density polyethylene
(HDPE) /or/ Polyetheylene Terephthalate (PET).
The process of manufacturing plastic bags begins when
high and low density resin travels silos where it is stored and blended
together following specific steps.
It needs blended resin, specific temperature to mix
and pressure to blow plastic bags making bubbles form.
Bubbles plastic bags go through a series of rollers to
lay the film flat. The result is a roll of film weighing quite thousands of
pounds.
HOW MANY PLASTIC BAGS
WE CONSUME?
A Moroccan consumes 5-20 plastic per day! Every day we
consume plastics bags, we fill it with many things; food, clothes and other
stuff. In all, every moment you need to hold something! You need a plastic bag.
We use it as garbage container too and it becomes a habit.
POSITIVE ABOUT USING
PLASTIC BAGS
Here we will try
to list all good things about using plastic bags!
Good thing
number one; plastic is used to gather things that we buy like food, clothes,
house furniture’s etc... However is it necessary to gather these things in
plastic? Is it a secure way to do so?
Good thing
number two; plastic bags are used to pack and conserve things: we need to
conserve food in the refrigerator and we used plastic bag as a container! Is it
a safe container?
NEGATIVE ABOUT USING
PLASTIC BAGS - EVEN GOOD THINGS ABOUT PLASTIC TURN TO BE BAD:
Plastic bags’ packaging
is unhealthy.
Plastic bags
are made by HDPE and PET that are identified as poisonous and both contain toxics
transferred from the packaging plastic to food. The risk to contaminate food with
these toxics is more that 70%. Moreover, if contamination conditions of toxic
are available like temperature, risks of food contamination are more 95%. Human
gut is not safe because we do not have that 100% capacity to degrade and
eliminate those Toxic from our body!
Plastic bags’ gathering
is not safe!
In the Market
plastic are affordable and the price is ok. However one question: how many
times your full plastic bags got safe to home? How many times you broke glass
furniture you just buy because the plastic bag is torn!!
Actually, the
constitution of the plastic bag is really weak and not consistent to carry on
weight.
OTHER BAD THINGS - BAD
HABIDTS:
-
PLASTIC BAG IS
THE NUMBER ONE REASON OF MAKING TOO MUCH GARBAGGE:
We use every day plastic bags as garbage containers
and it become a daily habit. If plastic bag is available in the market it will
be easy to make more garbage container and more plastic bags available means
more garbage made.
-
PLASTIC BAG IS
THE SECURE ALIBI TO THROW YOUR GARBBAGE ANYWHERE:
Plastic bag is
your Alibi!
Do you think that
you will be able to throw your garbage anywhere or everywhere without hiding it?
By nature, we
can throw anything anywhere if we don’t use it anymore. However we cannot do it
if someone is watching us or control us.
Therefore, we
will not throw garbage but in the safe places so that no one will judge us. In
fact these places called garbage tank.
But, sometimes
a plastic bag is enough! And if I can make it a nice black plastic bag no one
can see what it is inside so no one will judge and I can “put” it anywhere!
Human is
little suspicious and by definition suspicions are what make us not assuming
responsibility.
Plastic bag decorate
our sky!
We saw plastic
everywhere!
Flying in the
sky I personally confused plastic bags with a bird and it happens to me many
times. Is that what you really want to see when you raise your head to the bleu
atmosphere?
When walking into the beach there is many plastic bags
decorating the sand! Do you really like the view!
May be some would say that Green Invaders are talking
about landscaping. Well did you ever walk by the sea and it happens that your
foot is “scratched” by a sharp broken glass because a dark plastic bag hiding
it!
And in some places there are tons and tons of not recycled
plastics. Huge plastic-mass that add weight to the globe!
Our globe do not find
air to breath because of this and if it stays like this we are in danger.
PLASTIC BAGS KILL
ANIMALS –
Plastic bags are eaten by fish, birds and other
animals because they don’t distinguish food from not food! This plastic
contains toxic element once inside acid guts will dissolves and kill the
animals or lead to disturb its immunity!
ANY OTHER
ALTERNATIVES?
For packaging or carrying on food and furniture
there are other alternatives. Carton
Box, eco- bags, Hay bags and glass containers!
And in Morocco
we have this amazing old invention called KOUFA which is made by consistent hay
from palm trees and it s safe for carrying weight.
