We're living in a world where everything is disposable. It seems to be part of human nature to want the lastest, newest and best thing. We want it and we want it now. Out with old and in with the new, as it were. But was impact does this have on the environment?
The idea that out of sight is out of might plays a key role in the misconception that when we throw 'away' a plastic bag it just disappears. There is no 'away'. It just gets moved somewhere else so you don't have to deal with it anymore. 'Away' is usually a landfill and, without meaning to sound like a broken record, the habitats of animals both on land and water, and drainage systems causing flooding and contamination.
It is because we don't see that we don't acknowledge. The problem is most of us can't see direct and immediate links from our actions and the choices we make to and climate change. We can all see that weather patterns have become more extreme. We've all seen the images of polar ice-caps melting and the rainforests slowly disappearing. We've all seen the piles of garbage stacking up and contaminating our water and air. The problem is that for most of us, this isn't happening down the street. It's happening to other people, in other parts of the world.

Plastic Bags: A Defense
There is an argument that plastic bags really aren't that bad. At least not in comparison to some of the alternatives. Let's take paper bags, for example.
Plastic bags require 40% less energy to manufacture than paper bags do. For every seven lorries needed to deliver paper bags, only one lorry is need for the same number of plastic bags, helping to save energy and reduce emissions. Apparently, it takes 91% less energy to recycle a pound of plastic than it takes to recycle a pound of paper and plastic bags generate around 80% less waste than the paper alternative.
2000 bags weigh 30lbs, while 2000 paper bags weigh over 280lbs, so not only do they acount for less of the total weight dumped in a landfill but plastic bags also take up alot less space.
Plastic grocery bags make up a fraction (less than 0.5 percent) of the US municipal waste stream.
The manufacture and use of paper bags generates 70% more air emissions than plastic bags. Furthermore, plastic bags generate only 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions of non-composted paper bags and only 21% of greenhouse gas emissions of composted paper bags.
The production of plastic bags consumes less than 4% of the water needed to make the paper bags.
Lastly, it is estimated that around 65% of Americans reuse their plastic bags for trash disposal and other uses.
These are the arguments put forward by the Society of the Plastics Industries's Film and Bag Federation (FBF). The Federation actively promotes the growth of the plastic film and bag industry.
Ok, so we've established that plastic bags are better than paper bags. We also know that paper bags turn to mush in the rain while plastic bags don't. The point is, no one should be “promoting the growth of the plastic bag industry”. We need to find alternatives that are entirely (or at least as far as possible) ethical. It shouldn't be a question of which bag is the lesser of two evils. The reasons that the FBF lists for why it should be plastic over paper mask the fact that still far too many plastic bags are making their way into landfills, pollute habitats, kill animals and clog drainage systems. They still generate greenhouse gasses and create unnecessary waste.
I don't understand why the FBF has taken the time and effort to justify the promotion of plastic bags when it's clear that they are “almost” as detremental to the environment. Why can't the time and effort put into this tripe be implemented by other organizations to significantly reduce the consumption of plastic bags?

Dubya's Anti-Environmental Legacy
George W. Bush will forever been known as America's worst President when it comes to environmental concerns.
Let's put aside for one moment (a brief one, please) that he was and is utterly incompetent and, how can I put this? A pioneer in the “dumbassery”.
The Bush administration by 2003, just three years into the presidency, initiated more than 200 major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, disregarding the importance of the protection of the country's and the world's air, water and wildlife. Clouded in carefully chosen rhetoric (obviously engineered by someone far more literate than 'Dubya' himself) designed to deceive the public.
Under the guidance of Republican Frank Luntz, the White House actively hid anti-environmental programs behind misleading and deceitful rhetoric, screcy, stalling and the undermining and discreditting of scientist and environmentalists.
Should this have come as a surprise?
Georgie had the grimmest environmental track record of any governor during his tenure in good ol' oil-rig ridden Texas. The state became the most air and water polluting state and released the most toxic chemicals. He also excused a whole host of coal-burning power plants from complying with the Clean Air Act. The act, set up in 1990, is the law that defines America's Environmental Protection Agency's responsibilities for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and the ozone layer.
Furthermore, the former President's ignorance and the administrations avoidance of the matter has led to other problems not just concerning climate change:
The reliance on fossil fuels that his White House policies encouraged squandered the treasury, entangled the country in foreign was, diminishing international prestige and any moral high-ground and made the USA a target for attacks. It increased the reliance on the Middle East thus empowering his enemies.
When right-wing Republicans won the election of 2000, it marked the start of a dismantling of the infrastructure of the laws and regulations that protect the environment. Bush had barely stepped foot in the White House when lobbyists began work on getting every federal agency that oversees environmental programs to relax the rules aimed at the oil, coal, logging, mining and chemical industries. Penalties imposed for environmental violation plummeted under Bush. His “Healthy Forest” initiative promoted the destructive logging of old-growth forests. His “Clear Skies” program repleated key provisions of the Clean Air Act and allowed more emissions.
Someone clearly wasn't paying attention in their science lessons...
Frank Luntz, on the other hand, must have got an A in bullshitting.
During the Bush administration he urged that “'Climate Change' is less threatening than 'Global Warming'. While global warming has catastrophic connotations attatched to it, climate change suggests a more contollable and less emotional challenge.”
Bullshit by any other name is still bullshit and this shit don't smell so sweet, Mr. Luntz.
I for one am excited to see what changes Obama will bring to the eco-friendly table.

More Should Be Done
In the UK, it is estimated that we use 167 bags per person, per year. On a global scale, shoppers worldwide are using 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags per year. This translates to about a million bags every minute across the globe, or 150 bags a year for every person on earth.
More needs to be done in the way of reducing the use and abuse of plastic bags. I currently live in England and am pleased to say that I have seen some changes in the past year particularly in supermarkets. This is where I would argue most plastic bags are picked up while doing the weekly shopping. Supermarkets here (like Waitrose for example) have stopped leaving plastic bags out for the customer to pick up at their leisure without a second guess. Although this doesn't eliminate the problem by any stretch of the imagination because these bags are still available, but it does begin a process by which plastic bags are no longer a commodity for consumption and abandon. The customer now has to ask for a bag, or two or as many as they think they need. This won't solve the problem, the bags are still there and will still be thrown away and subsequently get dumped in a landfill somewhere and most likely end up choking up water ways and possibly an animal or two. It's about changing habbits and realizing consequences. We have become far too acustomed to getting to the end of the checkout and finding a pile of bags. We have become far too concerned with our own conveniece, taking 6 bags instead of 4 because we want to 'even out the weight a bit'. This has to stop.
I have also seen a rise in the sale and use of more durable plastic bags. These cost somewhere between 20 and 60p. Not much. I myself have not purchased any because again I don't believe this is truly solving the issue. They are, however, another important step in changing the way we think. Unlike the other less durable bags, these are on display and every now and then the cashier will ask you if you want to buy one. This needs to be stepped up. Yes it may get annoying but it's all about raising awareness. Maybe you should buy one if only to shut them up. By paying for these bags it encourages the customer to re-use them and to hopefully think twice about the real cost these bags and, crucially, our actions have on the environment. But this is not enough.
Another thing I've noticed and am happy to see is the rise again in the sale and more importantly the use this time of canvas bags in supermarkets. I feel this is the way to go. We need more people to step up and encourage the use of these bags. Not only are they more durable than even the sturdier plastic bags being sold, but they have a far greater weight capacity and more fits in them (thus reducing the need for more bags). What you can fit in 3 plastic bags (also taking into account weight) could quite easily fit and be carried in a single canvas bag. Many are biodegradable too. Moreover, they are far more comfortable to carry both in your hand and on your shoulder. Also, on a personal note, it feels great to get the checkout and being asked 'would you like a bag', replying 'no thank you' and taking out my own canvas bag.
I still feel that this is not enough. Don't get me wrong, these are great steps towards raising awareness and reducing the use of plastic bags. These schemes are, to an extent, working. It's great to see manufacturing companies stepping up and doing something about the problem rather than waiting for the government to pass some sort of legislation forcing them to manufacture and sell durable plastic bags and canvas bags. We shouldn't have to wait. We should take responsibility for what we as consumers are doing to the environment and what we as voters can do about it. In fact, if we did wait for the government, not only can we not afford to wait in the first place, but you'd probably find people complaining about their solutions (like, say, charging you for using any kind of plastic, or raising taxed on gas etc.)
I want to see companies doing more. It's not enough to just sell more durable bags. It's not enough to put (in small print most of the time) 'this bag has been made from X% recycled material' or 'please re-use this bag' or 'please recycle this bag'. Though these are all commendable initiatives and should be applauded, especially as not all stores do this, still more needs to be done. I know, as I'm sure most people know, that plastic bags should be re-used and recycled. It's great that 'this bag has been made from X% of recycled material' but who cares? Realisitcally speaking, this won't have much of an effect on the customer. In fact, by telling me that is recycled might encourage me to use it but it won't get me to recycle it. We need to discourage the use of ALL plastic bags, whether durable or not, recycled or not.
I would propose a scheme much like the one used to discourage smoking. We've all seen those big black and white messages on cigarette packs, most notably (the shorter and thus the biggest) 'Smoking Kills'. I would like to see this being implemented in an attempt to raise awareness. One of the biggest problems I believe is the fact that people can't see and therefore don't know the direct and indirect effects of using and throwing away plastic bags. Where do they end up? What happens from that point? What are the dangers to wildlife? To the environment? What effect does it have of pollution and Global Warming? What can I do to stop it? If all these questions were answered in the form of facts, numbers and causes, consequences and solutions printed onto all plastic bags similar in impact and size (proportionally) to that of the cigarette packets, hopefully people won't be so quick to grab them. And if they do, at least they'll have made a conscious decision to ignore the facts and continue destroying the environment. At least they'll know now exaclty what they're doing. What's more, people will, with some luck, feel less comfortable walking down the street carrying a plastic bag with a message to the effect of 'Plastic Bags Destroy the Environment' or 'This Bag May Kill' splayed across it. We need to give people a chance to make up their own mind by providing them with the information and knowledge upon which they can base their decision on. We can't expect people to make the right decision regarding plastic bags or anything for that matter if we don't make the consequences clear.
While we're at it, let's put these on plastic bottles too. Far too many are finding their way into landfills.
We're living in an age where we have access to so much information, let's put it to good use.

The B.Y.O.B. Initiative
[Intro]
I'll start by saying that this blog won't change the world, it is only a blog after all.
I'll never claim to be anything more than I am, just one person writing about what matters to them and hoping to do some good along the way.
I guarantee you'll find typos. And plenty of them.
Please excuse the odd profanity.
You'll also find me going off on a tangent. I find it hard to understand myself sometimes.
I'll try and keep my blogs focused but I can't promise you won't find the occasional rant.
When I get pissed off, you're gonna know about it.
Some blog entries may be more light hearted and others not so much.
The idea of B.Y.O.B. came to me while fishing through the net (yes fishing) for information on climate change. Anyone who really knows me will know that when I'm bored, Wikipedia, notorious for factual errors, will keep me occupied. Maybe it's because I have a thirst for knowledge or maybe I'm just fucking bored.
NOTE: Wikipedia is not where I'll get my facts from.
Unfortunately, I think we've fallen into a ditch. Metaphorically speaking of course.
The topic of Global Warming has either become fashionable or too scary a concept to talk or even think about.
The obvious problem with the latter is, well, avoidance. Ignorance may be bliss but just covering your eyes won't make the boogeyman go away. Besides, denial is never a good thing.
The problem of it becoming fashionable is you'll always get those who, just for the sake of being different and too cool for the masses, refuse to jump on the global warming band wagon because that's what everyone else is doing:
'I'm going to switch the lights on just 'cause everyone else is switching them off.'
'I'm going to plug in my phone charger just 'cause everyone else in unplugging them and I'll leave my computer on all night because I want to download that movie.'
'I'm going to pick up more plastic bags at the supermarket checkout than I actually need. Why? Because I can.'
Sure you can. But it's important to know that you shouldn't. And even more important to know why you shouldn't.
This isn't about telling people what to do. Or spoon-feeding people information because they're ignorant morons. It's just about awareness. You can't make good decisions if you don't have good information. This is as much about me learning through research as it is for anyone else. It is more about not knowing and wanting to find out than just sitting here telling you how to live you life. It is about lifestyle and changing habbits. Like I said, one blog won't change the world, one person isn't going to change the world, but if everyone thought like that then where would we be? More people making small changes is better that everyone doing jack-shit, bupkiss, nada, nothing, sitting on your ass waiting for the sky to fall.
So, back to the B.Y.O.B.
First thought? Bring your own booze right?
Well not this time, sorry.
It's Bring Your Own (plastic) Bag
Clever? Not really, at least not until it can get people off their asses.
Proposal, The B.Y.O.B. Initiative.
There'll be more about this when I can get it straight in my head. A lengthy process.
I have every faith in this, I hope others will also. Maybe we can get something going and do some good along the way.
I'll leave it at that for my first entry. Pretty damn long one if you ask me.
There'll be more about the initiative, ideas about projects and information about the current problem of plastic bag usage as well as other related topics.
I want this blog involve the reader. I want feedback and suggestions. I want to know what you want to done or what you think needs to be done. There's no point in me doing this if I think I'm talking to myself.
