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.
