Research for global warming and why should we use green bags

WHY SHOULD WE USE GREEN BAGS AND NOT PLASTIC BAGS?


As plastic bags are used everyday all around the world, Hong Kong topped the world in the use of plastic bags of 33 million, about 5 per citizen. 40 million dollars are spent on plastic bags each year. Plastic bags also contain harmful substances to the environment. Plastic bags also pose as a threat to toddlers below the age of 2, about 25 of them die of suffocation each year due to plastic bags. But green bags are made from moslty canvas, woven synthetic fibres of thick plastic that can be reused a lot more time than normal plastic bags. Green bags also allow less carbon dioxide emission when producing and waste less natural resources like oil. Using green bags also reduce the cost of making carriers.



WHY DO WE NEED TO DESIGN THE GREEN BAG?


To make people actually buy the green bags, partly of the reasons why they bought it would also be how good it looks. If the green bags are not good looking, then nobody would buy it. Imagine of someone was walking around with a ridiculous looking green bag. That is why having a good design for the green bag is an important thing so that people who bought the green bag would not look funny and there would be more people buying the green bags. That is why we must design the green bag.
