Custom Bag Recycling
I was biking down the street today and I saw one of the old green Recycle Program signs. These are a remnant from the ’90s when recycling was taken about as seriously as those signs that said $100 fine for not picking up your dog poop. It brought me back to the innocence of the early Clinton years, a world ago, when plastic bags weren’t even used as much as paper.
Today a lot is different. In New York, Bloomberg has passed legislation making the recycling of plastic bags themselves mandatory, an idea which was unheard and uncared about fifteen years ago. People have started taking into consideration what our choices mean for future generations, in a culmination of the Earth Day awareness that began in the ’70s. Many of the newest plastic bags are already made of recycled ones. Many a custom bag is made of corn starch and can dissolve in four months. Today scientists and developers pay special attention to create plastics out of biodegradable fibers. That wasn’t even on their minds ten years ago.
It all makes me wonder what the plastic bags of the future will look like and how they will feel, what our attention will turn to in another generation, and what new problems may present themselves.
