population needs to stop using plastic bags and other single use plastics because, the plastic makes up the largest part of our waste streams, the recycling process is difficult and expensive, and it harms the delicate oceanic ecosystems. There are many ways to get rid of plastic wastes, plenty of them are more harmful than the waste itself, but there are ways to put the nasty waste out of sight and mind.

Look around at the local surroundings. How many objects are made of or just contain a bit of plastic? There is a high amount of plastic being used for all kinds of objects for daily use. Plastic is used all the time and most people never really think twice about it. Plastic is becoming too common in the world today and is harming our environment (Manrich. 2009). People do not realize the effects plastic over-usage has on the world but if each person were to really take time to think about this over-usage
Drowning in Plastic: The Throwaway Society Since it birth in the decade of the ‘90s, plastic have play such an important role in every aspect of the modern-society. Thanks to its unique combination of properties such as durability, versatility, and cost of production, plastic’s dependency seems to not have end.

It has become a convenient commodity which is used every day, from storage containers and packaging to plastic bag to take home our goods.

We are students from Penn State Brandywine, located in Media, and are doing a school project for the campus read Garbology by Edward Humes. This project is for “us,” the students, to help spread the word that plastic bags are harming the environment.

We are using enormous amount of plastic daily. In fact, we feel that plastic is surrounding us. It becomes indispensable for us (Madren 1). Because it is durable and indestructible and has a low density, it starts to accumulate in huge amounts in our oceans, and moves for hundreds of miles away from the original site of pollution and concentrates in five known ocean gyres (Sun). The situation is really very serious now, because thousands of tons of plastics are polluting our oceans and environment
inhabit it. Earth is a huge place, but resources are actually very limited and will not last forever; unless there is a balance. We must protect the resources we have in order for them to last into the next generation. Every time we throw away a plastic bottle, drive our cars, and even burn those millions of fossil fuels to operate all those huge factories, there is a chance it will pollute the ocean and eventually effect the way we live. There should be stricter laws regulating human pollution,

Likewise, polices such as doors being locked, quiet hours, and no alcohol permitted on campus are needed to ensure protection for college students and community. A student’s school bag is already jam-packed with the essential books for that day’s class schedule, and bringing keys everywhere is just another hassle in one’s life. For instant, pretend as if a student forgot their keys to enter the dormitory, well they are out of luck

Americans, consume 20,000 plastic grocery-store bags every five seconds; which totals roughly one-hundred billion bags being used annually. This usage contributes to more than half-million tons of plastics being discarded into our nation’s landfills annually.

Unnecessary Plastic Waste Plastic as it is known today is a relatively modern invention. The first major breakthrough for a semi-synthetic plastic material occurred in the late 1850’s but with complete disregard to the effects it would have on the environment. By the mid 1900’s multiple types of plastics had been invented, however due to the large molecular construction of plastics, biodegradability was not possible nor was melting the different plastics together, resulting in the plastics being sent
When observing the bags I had found, I found many interesting things. The first I observed was that was how these bags played into our gender roles. The girls had purses or totes. Neither of these bags went over both shoulders. They were called “mini” because they replicate what girls tend to see older women wear. Their colors and style indicated that girls and women were dainty and not rough. The girls were also supposed to like small animals such as kittens and the beach. The purses and totes sizes
consumed at least 1 bag of potato chips. This means that at least 24375 tons of chips have been eaten in the past year. However, that calculation would only be true if each bag contained at minimum its labeled amount. When opening a bag of chips, it is easy to assume that the labeled amount is false due to the amount of empty space inside. Thus, the goal of this paper is to explore this idea and document the experimentation that follows in order to find out whether or not a bag of snack food contains

The problem lies in the way these plastic materials are disposed of by man. The sight of numerous plastic bottles, bags and cans
