How many people actually stop and take the time to think about what becomes of bags once we have unpacked our purchases and they are safely away? Whether they are made from clear vinyl or recyclable into plastic they have become a necessary nuisance to the American way of life. Certainly they are useful when we want to store belongings in a clean and easy to see way.

Take for example the clear heavy vinyl that makes up the bags that newly purchased comforters are sold in. They not only make an easy way to protect the comforter, but they also provide a nice way to view what design the merchandise is made of without having to open the package right there in the middle of the store. But what happens to that vinyl packaging once the merchandise is home and in use?

Many ideas come to my mind. Right away, they can be used for storage. Say, if you have a toddler at home and they quickly out grow their clothing. You can just store their old out grown clothes in that vinyl bag and keep them for any little ones that might come along later.Also most department stores have a policy in place that says that all female employees must use a clear purse or pocketbook while at work.

This way store security can see what they carry in their purses without having the employee empty the contents. Clear plastic would be easier to recycle than darker plastics. Not only is recycling the correct thing to do it is also easy and responsible. I'm sure anyone that can sit for five minutes or less can come up with reasons that using plastics and vinyls in enviornmentally safe.

Not only does it make the contents visably enticing to the eye. But the plastic containers, no matter their original use. Always have more than one use. Why not use these vinyl or plastic bags as long as they will last us?

There are so many inventive uses for these practical things. Recycling should not be limited to plastic or vinyl Bags, we can of course recycle our cans and bottles but my challenge to you is to find a new and creative way to recycle this week. Once you have come up with your new idea and then don't keep it to yourself, spread the word.

Together we may improve our environment and help our future generations to live in a better planet. We have turned into a disposable consumerism society but there is still a chance to change our ways, we can just think about the many items we throw in the trash, can we use it again?
