Ranging from Whales,turtles,seals,to even birds. It's estimated 100,000 animals die due to plastic bags every year according to   www.animalsaustralia.org/features/say_no_to_plastic_bags.php Some animals mistake plastic bags as food clogging up their digestive system causing them to die. As some just get trapped and left for there for death!]]> 2016-09-08 15:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122474589 cpm210 https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122480541 From source #2, people like to say that there no need for the ban since they are recyclable.Well nobody recycles them and they are a pain to recycled and is a waste of power and energy and can even brake machinery!]]> 2016-09-08 15:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122480541 cpm210 https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122480582 Plastic bags can be real terror to cites and communities as plastic bags are so hard to be recycled and due to that they will be thrown in land fill and takes three hundred years to photo degrade,and when it does it releases toxins into ground waters according to   http://dpw.lacounty.gov/epd/PlasticBags/Articles/Googobits_07-21-05.pdf  .

Then tell me why we see some many landfills,see plastic bags in trees and bushes,and on the road and sidewalks. You might as well say 9 out of ten Americans reuse there bags once then throw it outside!]]> 2016-09-09 15:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122779496 cpm210 https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122783461 One thing I have to say is that taxing plastic bags cost 2 to 5 cents according to www.nj.com and the average amount a family uses is 1500 a year according to    https://www.niftyhomestead.com/blog/plastic-bag-stats/ that means the average family spend $300 to $750 on plastic bags that are thrown in landfills and can pollute the area!]]> 2016-09-09 15:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/122783461 cpm210 https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/123235147 Not only do they eat them they get trapped in them as well.]]> 2016-09-12 17:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/123235147 cpm210 https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/123237822 Even with the peoples effort they have not even come close to getting rid of the land fill and this is the 7 biggest landfill and it's in New York!]]> 2016-09-12 17:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cpm210/6ej2p4wkmn9c/wish/123237822
