Poly Mailers, Newspaper Bags, Header Bags, Plastic Bags and more!
It’s that time of the year again. Time for cold windy days, when even the weakest breezes can make plastic bags look like animals. I’m never amazed at the plastic bags I mistake for animals. You’d think that after so many years of living in the city and being tricked by plastics and wind, I’d start to develop a sense for determining the shudder of polyethylene bags as what they are. Alas, no. Just the other day I saw what I thought was a raven. I hadn’t seen such a large bird for a few weeks at least, do ravens fly south for the winter, but perhaps the unseasonably warm weather — no, it was simply a torn black bag stuck in a tree, unfurled and flapping in the wind.
Then there’s the creeper: a floating plastic bag that scurries over the street very close to the ground, often mistaken for a rat or cat. These are fairly common, and are often seen next to car wheels, where they hide, waiting, or even on sidewalks where they hover before sometimes sprouting wings and rising high into the air.
There are undiscovered species o f plastic bags too. Who knows what this winter will reveal.
