This is the phrase that I woke up this morning when I went to the supermarket to do some shopping. I have to say I was tempted to say YES , but I remembered that some months ago, a coworker gave me a really cute canvas bag that folds and is collected in a tiny cutter, so I took no more bags, you can not imagine how many I have stored in the kitchen.
had already written before in the blog on the subject of bags (with great success of participation, by the way), do you remember the login on pasodoble Cádiz carnival? But the details of this morning's super and I read a story a while ago on Twitter: A plastic bag can take up to 150 years to biodegrade led me to write something about this evil of our time.
Did you know that each year nearly 250 use plastic bags? Ahhh ... not because then someone is out there spending their own and yours, but in Spain produced more than 10,000 million bags a year and that sadly ends up being a waste. A garbage being a byproduct of oil is highly polluting and generates a lot of energy and usually sooner or later end up in forests, rivers, roads, sea ... where it will take centuries to disappear.
But do not lose the north, this has always been an optimistic space where solutions are sought ... the problems come alone. What do you think of?
In my view the only viable solution is to STOP THEM or at least REDUCE, options are more fun as the old shopping cart that our mothers and grandmothers used to go to market, baskets and even the colorful cloth bags that are becoming so popular.
something that would also help governments to govern our designs are put to work legislating. Clearly our country has been a pioneer in these matters, but countries such as Germany, Ireland, France, we are years ahead with instruments such as eco-tax to plastic bags, bans on marketing and its replacement with greener products. More cerquita ours, Andalusia has announced its intention to implement a new tax for environmental purposes, to be taxed at 10 cents plastic bags Single-use and pay merchants, hopefully not just a purpose and achieved its goal of protecting the environment and encourage recycling.
But while our politicians agree, we can not simply give up, bagging reduce or end our planet with us within . And if you start recycling, remember, a little knot and the yellow container.
