Conclusion

You know, I'm hoping a lot of you already knew about plastic bags being all nasty, a real scar on the face of the earth; but now I'm hoping that you learned a bit more about where they come from. Where they go. But most importantly, how many plastic bags humans use each year. Since they were introduced in the 1980's, plastic bag numbers have probably raised into the 17 trillion mark. It's an absolutely absurd number. How we've gotten away with it so far is beyond me. But what isn't beyond me is that if we don't pull up our socks and do something about them soon, we could be living on one big garbage dump.
