...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...

...The Effects of Plastic Bags on Environmentt * | * The effects of plastic bags on the environment are really quite devastating. While there are many objections to the banning of plastic bags based solely on their convenience, the damage to the environment needs to be controlled. * There is no way to strictly limit the effects of plastic bags on the environment because there is no disposal method that will really help eliminate the problem. While reusing them is the first step, most people either don't or can't based on store policies. They are not durable enough to stand up to numerous trips to the store so often the best that citizens can do is reuse them when following pooper scooper laws. * The biggest problem with this is that once they have been soiled the end up in the trash, which then ends up in the landfill or burned. Either solution is very poor for the environment. Burning emits toxic gases that harm the atmosphere and increase the level of VOCs in the air while landfills hold them indefinitely as part of the plastic waste problem throughout the globe. * Plastic Bag Litter * Even when citizens try to manage their plastic bag disposal wind plays a role in carrying them away as litter. This litter is not biodegradable and thus where it lands it tends to stay for long period of time. A bag that is eventually ripped to shreds from high winds or other factors doesn't disappear but instead is spread in smaller amounts throughout the area. This can cause...

...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...

...environment of the market is different from your wish. To know your real or potential competitors. To know everything for your business. Your week sides and your strong sides. Every human being wants to achieve happiness. We need different things such as love, health, success, glory and so on. In our time we need money to live. They are not our main aim but they helps to live better. In Bulgaria it's difficult to get enough money. The most of population work but it's poor. There are five percent of population which have ninety percent of the money. So differences between poor and rich people are enormous. Most of the firms pays low salary's. Chef of the firm has money but he will not increase the payment. It's ridiculous situation. Chefs wants better employers for few money. There are three ways to achieve something in my country. First is with close friends or relatives you start to work for government or for local municipality. Second is to start work in big firm in Sofia and hope to progress. Third way is to start new business. I like third one. It's risky but if you have a success it's the best. For me entrepreneurship is opportunity to evolve myself and to start my business.

...teach you life saving skills. Like if you had to live on your own in the woods this tells you how to start fires, how not to be seen. How to prepare, what to have, and what not to have. Teaches you how to make supplies, warning signs of situations, and what to avoid. The conflict of the story is that a zombie apocalypse breaks out, and this book helps you to survive. And this book is a list of do’s and don’ts. Everyone needs to know how to preserve, prepare, and execute; whether it’s zombies, dogs, or people. No one knows what can happen so saing there is no such thing and I don’t need to prepare are vital life changing mistakes. What happens if you wreck your car in the middle of nowhere and you have no knowledge of what to do? People say oh your smart you’ll be fine, but that’s because they think oh it won’t happen to me or I think I know everything I need to. But that’s where ignorance has gotten to people’s brains. Just because I’ve camped in my back yard and lived means I can do it in the middle of nowhere and chances are those people are going to die. Now compare that person to me if I had the book. Who do you think would live longer? The person that survived a child attack for the last smore at a bonfire, or the guy with the book of how to survive in the wild during a time of devastation and anarchy?

...Reusable Shopping Bags In some areas of the United States people are given the choice to bring in and use their reusable bags or to pay for the convenience of using the store provided paper or plastic bags for their purchases. Some people find reusable bags as an inconvenience, especially if they do not have one on hand for times they need to pick up a couple of items from a store. Reusable bags can be small enough to have on one’s person. The use of reusable shopping bags reduces the waste of plastic store bags in landfills and water systems. There can be a compromise; some stores offer the reusable bags at the checkout area of the store offering credit to the consumer, as well as offering promotions in support of using the reusable shopping bags. One major cause for promoting reusable shopping bags is to reduce our carbon footprint. The importance of reusable shopping bags is they are convenient and will help our planets environment. The problem with not using the reusable bags is that you may be faced with a decision at the store checkout register of being charged for the use of the stores plastic or paper bags for your items. If you choose not to purchase the stores bags, then you as the customer would have to carry your products out of the store by hand. In the past people have been used to having the convenience of using the store provided plastic recyclable bags and then just throwing them away.
