I'm referring to plastic grocery bags, now. They will disintegrate all by themselves. They are made that way. Funny no one knows this... Of course, the problem is that putting ANYTHING into a landfill stops all decomposition. That is why we have typhoid fever and a host of other bad bugs running rampant through landfills due to the callous discarding of so-called disposable diapers. Solution: start composting.

This student has practically lit up my life and put a permanent smile on my face. It is so difficult to find places nowadays that have paper bags instead of plastic but thanks to this kid I won't have to bother anymore.

That is just beyond amazing. If only I could dedicate myself to such a cause. This student must have a set of very proud parents. Even when I try to avoid using those plastic bags sometimes I had use them because they didn't offer any other options so I reuse them as mini trash bags but I might give this method a try, anything for good ole' mother earth!

Personally I have avoided the use of plastic bags simply because they are known for not being enviromentally safe. But this kid has changed it all! Now I can actually use those wonderful handles that come with the using of a regular plastic bag! Congratulations to the student who discovered how to decompose plastic bags! Oh wow!
