Vegetable Shopping Bags are environmentally friendly, but the way people use it is not necessary.

For at least a few decades, people have been instilled in the superiority of hand-held shopping bags-also known as "tot bags." We are told that reusable vegetable shopping bags are good things because they are environmentally friendly. In contrast, disposable shopping bags are dangerous. In order to reduce waste, many cities have taken action to limit the use of plastic shopping bags. Many businesses have stopped offering plastic bags or set plastic bags at a moderate but punitive price. The concept of reuse of shopping bags has been extended to the world.

But in practice, canvas shopping bags may be more harmful to the environment than the plastic bags they want to replace. 2008, the UK Environment Agency (UKEA) released a study on resource consumption for various material bags: paper bags, plastic bags, canvas bags, and recyclable polypropylene (nonwovens) tot bags. The results were surprising. In typical use and discard modes, consumers should use plastic bags and reuse them at least once, if they want to minimize pollution and carbon emissions as if they were used as garbage bags or other minor uses. Of all the species surveyed, traditional plastic bags made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, the plastic bag material used in food stores) have the least environmental impact peruse. By contrast, cotton tot packages require more resources in the manufacturing and transportation process, and the potential and severity of global warming far exceeding the rest of the material.

Such an outcome is a deep violation of our intuition. HDPE plastic bags have a sense of foreign body and artificial sensation. They hang on the treetops, stuck in the animals ' esophagus, rot in landfills, piled up in the city, and degrade into tiny particles floating in the ocean circulation-until the future of hundreds of years later. However, although HDPE plastic bags are not easily degraded, the resources needed to manufacture and transport are very small. The carbon emissions, waste generation and by-products of plastic bags are lower than those of cotton bags or paper bags. Plastic bags can not only be recycled but also inexpensive, with a variety of advantages that make them ubiquitous. They still don't go away even long after they're no longer available.

The UK Environment Agency study calculated that the carbon consumption of each HDPE plastic bag was slightly less than 2 kilograms. In order to achieve a single use of carbon consumption equal to plastic bags, paper bags need to be used 7 times. The special bag made from recyclable polypropylene takes 26 times, while the cotton tote bag takes 327 times. (although not covered in this study, the number of uses of designer tote bags with leather metal decorations is conceivable to be astronomical.) ）

Because of the environmental benefits of the name of the body, the tot package has become popular on a large scale. Many shops offer cheap (or even free) reusable vegetable shopping bags at the cashier's office with a store logo. Designers have designed it to be more stylish, based on maintaining the form of the tot package. Non-profit organizations and businesses use the tot package as a promotional or promotional giveaway, a move that implies contradictory: a symbol of responsible consumption, but a clear drain on resources.

The vegetable shopping bag was initially limited to sale at London's once, Camelot Fashion and Denver Street markets, but 80,000 of people lined up to buy the bag after it was sold in the Sainsbury's supermarket for an open-shelf sale. After entering Taiwan's shops, its demand is even greater than everyone frantically queuing up to buy, and even many people were injured and sent to medical treatment.

Whether they are elaborate designer works or because of the daily use of defaced promotional products, few tot packages can be used longer and more repeatedly. Although the slogan around it is always selling how durable they are, the tote bag will eventually escape the fate of breaking holes, strap breaks, and seam overcoat out. They can also be soiled by dust and stains.

Many fashion brands sell vegetable shopping bags for up to $ hundreds of trillion and the tot package is one of the sources of crime that exacerbates the gap between rich and poor. Ellen Gamerman, who writes for the Wall Street Journal, also mentioned the same once Gammerman when it was illustrated that the bag turned into a display symbol:

" Each product is manufactured and consumed with certain concepts pouring into it. The picture of the tot package in the photo site or ad shows the idea and image we cast on it: people use vegetable shopping bags to wrap fresh fruit and vegetables and walk in the sunny Farmer's market. They were twos and threes and close. They dress casually and properly, suitable for a warm climate. They didn't take the electronic equipment on their hands. They carry special vegetable shopping bags to beaches, parks, art exhibitions, opening ceremonies and concerts, shuttling through the world's urban neighborhoods and the idyllic pastoral. They are both contented and creative. They are the middle class. They live in the dream world of Tot Bag: health, conscious of waste and responsible for the ecological environment, moderate racial diversity, carefree and productive, rich, tolerant, adventurous, optimistic and save his planet using of vegetable shopping bags because these bags are very earth friendly.
