Plastic Bags with Environmental Tips, How… Ironic?
Further to my post about China’s new standards for plastic bags, here’s an article in the China Daily about a new variety of plastic bag. These plastic bags come with safety tips and suggestions on preserving the environment.
And yes, given the amount of awareness of the environmental impact of plastic bags, this does seem quite ironic. The fact that the plastic bag was even produced is not good for the environment.
But, as ridiculous as this may seem at first, I think the idea has enormous potential. If the right message is planted on these bags, it could have a very positive impact on the environment. After all, by placing a message on plastic bags, you’re targeting those people who haven’t yet chosen to carry reusable bags.
Time will tell.
