3. PERCEPTION OF PEOPLE TOWARD PLASTIC BAG

4. PROBLEM

5. Plastic poisons our food chain
Plastic affects human health
Disposable plastics are the main
source of plastic pollution
Plastic recycling is not a solution
to the crisis
Plastic pollution is not only in the
ocean also in desert

6. How big is the problem?
How much waste is generated by
single use plastic bottles?
Artist Chris Jordan offers the
following visualizations.
Imagine 8 football fields covered
thickly with plastic bottles: this
is the equivalent to the number of
plastic beverage bottles discarded
in the US every five minutes

7. Now imagine a line of plastic water bottles going around the
planet five times. This would be equivalent to the number of
plastic bottles discarded every week in the US, just for water!

27. SOLUTION

28. • Is Paper Better Than Plastic?
• Paper bags, which many people consider a better
alternative to plastic bags, carry their own set of
environmental problems. For example, according to
the American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999
the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery
bags, which adds up to a lot of trees.

29. • Reusable Bags Are a Better Option
But if you decline both paper and plastic bags, then how do you get
your groceries home? The answer, according to many
environmentalists, is high-quality reusable shopping bags made of
materials that don’t harm the environment during production and
don’t need to be discarded after each use.
“Experts estimate that 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed
and discarded annually worldwide—more than a million per minute.”

30. Strategic Taxes Can Cut Plastic Bag Use???
In 2001, for example, Ireland was using 1.2 billion plastic bags
annually, about 316 per person.

31. Governments Use the Law to Limit Plastic
Bags

32. Companies Making Tough Choices
Meanwhile, some eco-friendly companies—such as Toronto’s Mountain
Equipment Co-op—are voluntarily exploring ethical alternatives to
plastic bags, turning to biodegradable bags made from corn. The cornbased bags cost several times more than plastic bags, but are produced
using much less energy and will break down in landfills or composters in
four to 12 weeks.

33. CONCLUSION

34. • Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They clog
waterways, spoil the landscape, and end up
inlands fill. where they may take 1,000 years or
more to break down into ever smaller particles
that continue to pollute the soil and water.
• Plastic bags also pose a serious danger to birds
and marine mammals that often mistake them
for food. Thousands die each year after
swallowing or choking on discarded plastic bags.
• Finally, producing plastic bags requires millions of
gallons of petroleum that could be used for
transportation or heating.
