Plastic bags? Spariti
The new rules of law, in force since 1 January 2011 provides for the stop of the use of plastic bags, replaced riciclicabili from bags or bags made from canvas, hemp or two-wheeled carts. Cheering environmentalists, who consider this choice a great step forward for the protection of the planet, whereas a plastic bag to serve at least 200 years to be absorbed by the environment and, just to give you a figure, last year were produced over 260 tonnes of plastic bags, with consumption of oil as used by 160 000 cars. From now on the shops - but the consumption is especially linked to mass retailers - will no longer sell bags polluting, but give up on stocks run out and replace them with recyclable (which still cost more and are more fragile). Sobering that since January 2 almost all the retail chains were available only recyclable bags and questions from customers asking for the old bags for free, the answer was always the same: they are sold out! I wonder what business is behind us, the suspicion is that the pollutants are traveling bags, sold a few Euros per tonne in China, Africa, India or who knows where ...
Personally, considering the eagerness of the captains of the GDO, certainly I would not be surprised!
And our grandmothers ...
Another consideration is that this "conquest" is nothing more than a step back towards normality. Remember our nonne (ma anche le nostre mamme...)? Andavano a fare la spesa con la borsa di tela, magari quella a rete, dove vedevi tutto quello che avevano comprato (dolci compresi...) e solo un progresso assurdo avrebbe poi sostituito quella comodità NON inquinante con sacchetti di plastica INQUINANTI.
