If you really think about it, the ways to prevent pollution are actually not really helping, because you will still be using excessive resources. For example, people try to stop using plastic bags and then switch to paper bags. The plastic bags use petroleum, and paper bags use trees. So technically, you aren't really helping the earth. Well, technically, you are helping use less petroleum, but trees give oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, so technically your not. Also, if you use a cloth bag, it is made out of polyester, which uses petroleum, so technically you aren't helping, but technically you are helping because you aren't getting a new bag every time. Anyway, my point is that sometimes, when you try helping, it gets kind of confusing because your just helping one side of the stopping pollution and helping the polluting side.
You have a point, but the "green" bags are made to be reused.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... and a lot of "technically"s. :)
ReplyDeleteBut reusable stuff really are helping the environment...
There are also many "natural" reusable bags, using things like coconut or otherwise unused plant fibers. You can also make reusable bags out of "trash" like drink bags, plastic shopping bags, etc.
