What happened after "Earth Day"?

All of you know that I was part of a group that made a presentation about plastic bags. It was very interesting and after “Earth Day” I started to think about what we are doing to our planet. I was not so much into It, and I have never paid attention how we are destroying our planet. I got scared because of how global warming is going to affect to my kids, so I have to think how to protect them and try to leave a better place for them. I did not know some of things about plastic bags before I started presentation. Now when I really know what happened with plastic bags I am trying to do something to change my habits. I do not use anymore plastic bags when I go store, and instead of it I use cloth bag. A cloth bag is one of the solutions that we can do to stop using plastic bags. I still cannot believe that plastic bag stay in landfill for more than a hundred years and even after those hundred years it still there. They are smaller and smaller by the time, but actually they never disappeared. Trying to not use plastic bag is just only one small step that we can do to save our planet, and I think that every person on this Earth should think more about consequences.
