Plastic Bags, Plastic Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new challenge is to go through a day without accumulating another plastic bag. There is a great documentary called Bagit, that focuses on the issue that plastic doesn't compost, it just stays.

I wrote a poem about plastic a few years ago:

Plastic

We throw so much out

Where does it go?

It doesn’t vanish like smoke

It won’t burst like a balloon

Humans decay

Plants rot

Rivers dry up

Ice melts

Wood burns

Plastic cups, plates

Ready- made food containers

Dry cleaning covers

Packaging

We throw it away, throw it away

Millions, billions, trillions of tons

Throwing away bags

Will everyone have plastic lawns?

Walk down streets

Lined with plastic trees

Astro-turf

 Smothered in plastic

All for progress, efficiency

Superiority

Money

Big Business

Capitalism

Deep pockets of plastic

Vested interests

Campaign coffers

Plastic PACs

We’re Americans

We are entrepreneurs

We are sharks

Competitive, Aggressive

Hungry, Ruthless

We are children of Cheney

We know how to do things right!

We know how to destroy the world………

My challenge is to figure out how to recycle plastic bags......If you have any ideas leave it in the comments below!!!
