Paper Bag Day 2021

I worked there up until I thought I wanted to drive a school bus then kicked myself for leaving there to transport busloads of rowdy school children as it was a much less lucrative position by far.

It is a day to mark the biodegradeable paper products which are very much superior to the plastic ones which are likely to remain in the biosphere as plastic pollution for extended periods of time.
Each July 12th that threat posed by plastic pollution and those thousands of years required for plastic waste to decompose comes to the fore.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. Marine debris is litter that ends up in the ocean, seas, and other large bodies of water.
A large portion of this debris is comprised of various plastic things discarded by people.
Paper bags do not contribute to the accumulation of plastic pollution and are of renewable origins, may be recycled, and most important paper bags are biodegradable.
They reduce the need for plastic deposition in the landfills and that pollution such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
