...UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA CRITICAL THINKING CBEB1108 PLASTIC BAG SHOULD BE BANNED WHAT IS PLASTIC BAG? Plastic bag is used to carry item especially from store to home. Most of the time plastic bag is used for storage and trash in common. Plastics are made from non-renewable natural resources such as crude oil, gas and coal. IMPACT The impact of plastic bags on the environment is enormous. As of August 2010, between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are being used each year worldwide. Approximately 100,000 sea turtles and other marine animals die every year because they either mistake the bags for food or get strangled in them, says Natural Environment. In Australia, 50 million garbage bags end up as litter yearly, and the "plastic soup" patch floating in the Pacific Ocean is twice the size of the continental United States. It is roughly 80 percent plastic, according to The Independent, a British newspaper. What exactly the impact of reusable bag usage in the U.S. is far from clear. Even though, according to the website Earth 911, reusing or recycling one ton of plastic means the equivalent of 11 barrels of oil are saved. ALTERNATIVE As we can see nowadays grocery chain carries cheap reusable grocery bags and more upscale bags are available in practically all chain stores. In addition, many people sew their own from leftover fabric or by converting old jeans or beach towels into personalized carry-on bags, which is fun and creative way to recycle. POTENTIAL ...

...International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 19 Number 4 – Jan 2015 Green Concrete using Plastic Waste Vikram Kathe #1 , Akshay Gangurde #2 , Abhijit Pawar#3 12 Undergraduate Student, 3Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, SIEM Nashik, University of Pune, Nashik, India Abstract— This experimental study presents the use of major plastic wastes as fine aggregates in concrete as an effective way to deal with the scarcity of sand and disposal of plastic waste. Aggregates in concrete account for the largest volume of solid material extracted around the globe at a rate far greater than their regeneration. The removal of aggregates has a major impact on rivers, deltas and marine ecosystems which results in deterioration of land through coastal or river erosion, Depletion of the water table and decrease in sediment supply. This paper emphasizes on using major plastic waste such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene to substitute the sand in concrete to tackle the ill-effects of sand extraction and the problems related to disposal of plastic waste. In addition, Aluminum powder is used to minimize the weight of concrete and plastic itself is lighter than sand which results in lightweight concrete. Overall using these ingredients to replace sand will give new dimension in concrete mix design and if applied universally would transform the construction, by reducing the cost and...

...Philippines – Plastic bags are the most common type of garbage found in Manila Bay, according to a waste audit conducted by environmental groups on Thursday, July 3, International Plastic Bag-Free Day.” (Rappler.Com – Pia Ranada – July 05, 2014) An article by Pia Ranada said that Plastic bags are the most common type of garbage found in Manila Bay and it is said in the article that garbage found in Manila bay are classified into 12 namely; Plastic bags, Composites or plastic wrappers, Polystyrenes (like Styrofoam, print cartridges, coat hangers, DVD cases), Plastic Bottles, Hard Plastics, Rubbers, Metals and cans, Glass, Hazardous waste, Diapers and napkins, Biodegradables and other discards. Probably, those trash where thrown by those people going in the bay or it came from other places and just flow in the Manila Bay. It was a bit disappointing because during one typhoon, barriers of Manila bay was broken and after the flood was gone, it left so many trash that lots of trucks are coming back to get the trash. It was said in the news that there tons of garbage/trash found in the Manila Bay, and base on the videos in the news, plastics really are the most common type of garbage found in the bay. People living near the bay or those who are going in the bay, not all but maybe most of them don’t have discipline in throwing their own trashes. Like they are throwing trashes everywhere, or even at the bay itself. Because if they’re not, why would there be a floating Plastic bags, Composites...

Introduction A sample population of 8000 people in a 450-acre college campus had been considered. The college campus is located in a nondescript village in South India. In such a populous community, generation of large amount of wastes is not surprising. Waste generated here varies from paper, plastic, cloth, glass to food, construction, hospital and sanitary products. Their sources include hostels, offices, mess, canteens, kitchen, staff quarters, guest house, and dispensary and construction sites. In such a scenario, the huge quantity...

...Plastic has become pretty much a lifestyle here in America; We use plastic cards to make transactions every day, we’re given plastic bowls and utensils with our lunch and we collect a countless number of plastic bags from our local stores daily. These days, there is so much hoopla about banning these convenient little bags that many of us love. Opposers of these bags claim (or were misled to think) that they are not environmentally responsible. Before we take on a war against these plastic bags with hopes of saving the world one bag at a time, as citizens we should get the facts into perspective about alternatives being advertised before making earth saving decisions. Also, what happened to being presented with choices and choosing the ones we find to be more responsible? Regularly, you may hear critics stating that yearly a billion bags are not recycled and filling up our landfills. This is in fact true. Plastic bags take . To remedy this problem, has anyone ever asked the question as to why we don’t just find a way to recycle the bags with all the technology available these days? Matter of fact, the truth is that these bags are already recyclable! Plastic bags can be recycled into things like plastic wood which can be used to make backyard decking components, shopping crates, park benches or even more plastic bags. The EPA reported that only 1% of these bags are being recycled? As responsible citizens we should all get together to push for new laws that encourage...

...Plastic in the world’s oceans has reached an unfathomable, and frankly disturbing level. It is speculated that there are at least 5.25 trillion plastic particles weighing a combined 268,940 tons currently floating in the world’s oceans (“Plastic Pollution in the World's Oceans” par. 17). What’s more, of the quarter million tons of plastic in the ocean, anywhere from 7,000 to 35,000 tons is comprised of micro-plastics measuring less than 5mm in diameter. Take a moment and consider the sheer magnitude of nearly 270,000 tons of plastic. For scale, let’s compare the maximum load allowed for big rigs in the United States, 40 tons (or 80,000 pounds). The weight of the combined plastic in the ocean is equivalent to at least 6,750 fully stocked big...

...Most people do not realize, but plastic bags are not just the bags you use to carry your purchases. There are quite a few bags that can be recycled such as plastic bags that your newspaper comes in, bread bags, dry cleaning bags, and paper towel wrappings just to name a few. As you can see the list would go on and on. So that is why Richmond as well as other communities should feel compelled to recycle plastic bags to reduce, recycle, and reuse in order to save our environment. When this bag epidemic started is really not the issue, as everyone knows that there is a problem and they need to know what to do about it and plastic bags are everywhere these days and certainly in places that they should not be. So how are we in Richmond to deal with this problem? Well that is easy reduce, recycle, and reuse. As Rex Springston of the Times-Dispatch Staff Writer stated in his November 16, 2010 article “If you don’t need a plastic bag, you don’t need to take a plastic bag”. So people there is the challenge don’t take it, if you don’t need it. If we all would recycle our plastic bags we would reduce waste and become one state which would be included in a growing national trend nationwide with more than 832 million pounds recycled in 2008 which is a 28 percent increase since 2005. So what does that mean for you as a person who recycles? By recycling plastic bags and wraps you are providing valuable material to live a second life as durable decking boards, fences...

...30 October 2014 The True Price for Plastic Did you know that plastic bags are one of the largest sources of litter in the world? According to research discussed on “How Stuff Works”, plastic bags can take anywhere from two hundred to a thousand years to break down. They also give off toxic chemicals when burned, so burning is a hazardous way to rid of the material. Because of this it is difficult to safely dispose of plastic. According to the same site, less than 1% of plastic bags used in the US are recycled due to recycling costs being much higher than the recovered plastic is worth. States are attempting to find new strategies to reduce the number of plastic carry-out bags from grocery stores and other retail outlets to help with the issues arising. They believe regulating the use of bags can lower harmful impacts to oceans, rivers, lakes and the wildlife that inhabits them. Reducing bag use can also relieve pressure on landfills and waste management. One of the methods being experimented with is charging for the plastic bags given out at grocery stores. This is definitely something stores should try to help out both economically and environmentally. Economically, charging for plastic could help the world in a few ways. It would profit the community, it would put more money into recycling as more people buy reusable bags, and it could cut costs on manufacturing these bags, making it possible to put money elsewhere. Charging for plastic would create an extra income for grocers...

...You think plastic bags are harmless? Tell that to the dolphin with the plastic bag wound around its snout, slowly starving to death. You think they’re light, easily thrown out? Over one million bags a week are buried, ditched and dumped in our country. A couple of plastic bags blowing in the wind couldn’t hurt, could it? Potentially putting our environment at risk of damage, and affecting the clean green nature of New Zealand. Dangers Of Using Plastic Bags Environmental Damage Plastic bags have been known to cause a lot of environmental damage. A single plastic bag can take up to 1000 years, to decay completely. This makes the bags stay in environments longer, in turn leading to great build-up on the natural landscape (much more than degradable materials like paper). In other words, the more plastic bags you use, the greater the chances of environmental damage. Threat To Animal Life As per Marrickville Council of Australia, as many as 100,000 whales, turtles and birds die have been reported to die every year, mainly because of plastic in their environment. Plastic bags not only have adverse effects on our natural habitats, but have also been found to be responsible for the death of many animals, mainly on account of the suffocation encountered on eating them. Suffocation Not only animals, infants and young children have also been reported to have lost their life, on account of plastic bags. Since plastic bags are thin and airtight as well, children often end...
