Everyday Comsuption by Isaac, Thiago, Mohammed and Nora

 Dear friends,

 

A product that we consume daily are plastic bags. 

 

Some materials and natural resources with which they are made are from a source of polyethylene. This can vary, the most common thing is that it comes from some type of fossil fuel. Natural gas and oil (both derived from fossil fuels) are vital sources and ingredients for the manufacture of plastic bags.

 

Something that surprised us about our consumption is that it comes from liquefied petroleum and then solidifies.We cannot imagine that buying and taking a bag pollutes so much. In total we use 200 bags each year and each bag takes 500 years to decompose, and of the 500 years we only use it for 12 minutes.

 

Sincerely, Isaac, Thiago, Mohammed and Nora
