A bag, a fine Christmas

Alarming. Each year in Spain, are used more than ten and a half million non-reusable plastic bags. More alarming still, after use, which may be ephemeral, moderate or heavy, what happens to this material? Because only one in ten of them will go to the yellow container, ie, be reused as raw material. The rest? the landfill, the gorges, the river or the sea.
The use of reusable bags is as old as civilization. Since early hominids pouches made from skins in which they kept their food. In other more recent times, our grandmothers were hung behind the door with a bag of cloth that was going to buy bread every day. The use of scrip that charismatic never affected the taste of bread. So why have we abandoned this sustainable approach for filling landfills highly polluting materials? Today we waste of packaging, we offer stock in each trade for each product, even those of us fit in your pocket, and willingly accept them, without even thinking that we do not need to accept that we are helping to pollute a little over the planet.
What is the solution to this terrible problem? For without doubt to tax the consumption of these products. Only when it hurts the pocket will be able to think about what really we need and what is not. According to a national newspaper, Ireland, in 2002, imposed a fee of 0.15 euros per bag. Today there (Island like ours) use of non-reusable bags has fallen more than 90%.
More plastic takes 150 years to disappear if released into the environment. While on his way toward disappearance, can play dangerous 'tricks she practices': serve as breeding grounds for malarial mosquitoes, entangled turtles, obstruct the digestive tract of dolphins and whales, impede water outlets ... well, dirty. And all this without counting what it cost before birth: kilos of oil and gas, CO2 emissions ...
few years ago, a simple plastic bag was a product unusual, rare, and where the reuse is stretched until it broke. Now, they have become worthless goods to the consumer (the fateful throwaway), but that 'cost' much to the environment. Therefore, and repeat almost certainly the only way to see that every day we stick a poisoned dagger to the ecosystem will punish polluting money every action, every bad gesture for the environment: it hurts in their pockets, which affects the home economics (now it weighs more than feelings, common sense) and from there you can start talking about awareness, or not.
