2. information
Every year plastic fabrics produce 60 tons of Co2 in produccion of plastic bags
• mass production began in the 1940s, plastic's wide range of unique properties has propelled it to
an essential status in society. Globally almost 360 million tons of plastic were produced in 2018.
The amount of plastic manufactured in the first ten years of this century will approach the total
produced in the entire last century, according to a report.
• "Plastics are long-lived products that could have service over decades, and yet our main use of
these lightweight, inexpensive materials are as single-use items that will go to the garbage dump
within a year, where they'll persist for centuries," Richard Thompson, lead editor of the report,
said in an interview.

4. problems
• dangerous for animals beacuase animals some of this plastics look similar to animalz food so they eat that
• Also plastic that is in rivers ends in our food as micro plastics that are dangerous for us,
Chemicals added to plastics are absorbed by human bodies
• Plastic affects climate
• Plastic releases CO2 in the descomposition process
• Around 4 percent of world oil production is used as a feedstock to make
plastics, and a similar amount is consumed as energy in the process
Plastic debris is often ingested by marine animals, can injure or poison wildlife
5. solutions
• cloth bag instead of plastic bags(cloth bags can be used several times)
• Recycle or rehuse plastic bags
• Avoid using plastic
6. data
• *i buy food twice a month this means:
• Platic bags:
• I use 20 to 25 bags when i buy food
• Cloth bags:
• I use 8 to 10 big cloth bags buying food
7. process
• I will buy some cloth bags to use them every time i go to buy food and
compare how many plastic bags i avoid using for one month
• Also i will sometimes buy with plastic bags and then rehuse and recycle
plastic bags
• In the process you will have some challenges like remeber you have to use
your cloth bags
8. results
• Every month you will save up to 50 plastic bags
• Every year you will save up to 600 bags
• No spends on garbage bags (rehusing plastic bags as garbage bags)
9. Put in practice this live style¡
• Putting in practice and sharing this presentation you can make a change and
help our planet for future generations
