Comments GreenScribe has made

there is a good choice:

But it's not paper NOR plastic.  Great comments have been made about how truly dangerous and toxic plastic is to the environment.  In fact, in the Pacific Gyre, it's been estimated that there's 10 x the amount of plastic as there is plankton.  And what goes down the food chain goes UP the food chain.  Plastic whether recycled or not will NEVER biodegrade -until a microbe develops or is invented to eat all of it.  It will probably become the next Godzilla!  Did you know that 14 plastic bags use the same amount of oil as powering your car 1 mile!!!   That's why I got into selling reusable, organic fairtrade bags with messages about sustainability - to teach people that there's a better way! (you can see my products at sustainableBags.NET)

With regard to bioplastics:  TrellisEarth bioplastics will biodegrade, and are  strong.  The company is also looking for new sources (maybe algae? ) to use in the future. But now, it will biodegrade, and leave no toxins behind.

We have to change our habits:  just think of this term: throw it AWAY.  WHERE is away, anyway?  We must individually write to companies and tell them that we won't buy their overwrapped products - Even our prescription bottles come in plastic!   The world as we know it cannot continue - and you know, that's not such a bad thing.  Just think about how much more fit and healthy we were when we didn't use a garage door opener, clicker to get in your car, automatic windows, drive everwhere.  And kids: they're getting fatter from their electronic and motorized  toys - where's the kid power?  

I'm actually looking forward to the end of oil- and the pollution and destruction, including wars, that it has created.  Humans have created a monster, and now it's time for us to start working together, using our creativity and potential goodness to create a cleaner, safer world for ALL - not just human centered, but every living thing on earth.  We can do it! But we MUST start now! On Umbra on trash bags posted 1 year, 8 months ago 21 Responses
