No matter how hard you try not to, you’re still bound to
generate some garbage. Even if you’re recycling your beer bottles and
composting your kitchen scraps, there are some things that are just junk -- kinda
like your old Converse kicks. So does that mean you just chuck it all in a
bargain trash bag?
Nope.
Conventional trash bags are made from polyethylene -- a
petroleum-based product. It takes 1,000 years for a traditional plastic bag to
break down, and when it does, it releases toxic chemicals into the ground. Don’t
despair. You have options when it comes to bags... even if you don’t when it
comes to women.
If you need a suggestion, check out BioBags! They’re made from organic, non-GMO starch,
and they do break down in an open landfill.
BioBag products range from kitchen storage bags to trash
bags, and from pet waste bags to litter box liners.
You can order them here.
