vs
plastic bag
where does it come from?
paper as you know, paper comes from trees. but you may not
know that it takes about three tons of wood chips to
get one ton of paper pulp. can you imagine the number
of trees needed every year just to make paper? you
might also be surprised to know that we wash, bleach
and colour this paper pulp using chemicals that harm
the environment
plastic plastic comes from oil. now, we all know that the oil
industry causes pollution. furthermore, the manufacturing
of plastic bags uses a lot of electricity which is not good
for the environment
where does it end its life?
paper: your paper bag can end up in a landfill site where it will
take years to break down. if you take it to a recycling
centre it means more energy and chemicals are used
either way, there's waste.
plastie like paper, plastic bags often end up in landfills. in fact
in the uk, for example, we recycle only 1 in 200 plastic
bags. so what happens to the rest? we throw them
away. a plastic bag takes more than 1,000 years to
decompose. in the meantime, plastic bags cause over
100.000 sea turtles and other marine animals to die
every year, when animals mistake them for food
the verdict
we use large amounts of natural resources to make
both paper and plastic bags. both bags end up in the
landfill anyway, so neither of them is the winner. the
best way to carry your shopping and protect the
environment at the same time is to choose a reusable
fabric bag. reusable bags take minimal energy to make
are light and last for years​
