Want to save the environment? Eat a bag.

Nowadays the Earth is greatly suffering from a myriad of environmental problems, one of which is plastic pollution. Unfortunately, with the invention of plastic, no one considered all the disastrous consequences of its use we would have to face at present. Over the recent years, mankind has been trying to reduce the harm from plastic products since the damage they are causing to the natural world in is incredible.

Let's consider plastic bags and their negative effects on the environment. First, dumping old plastic bags significantly decreases fertility. Plastic does not degrade for a long time and its toxic chemicals can remain in the soul for more than 450 years, making it totally barren. Secondly, the threat plastic bags pose to fauna goes far beyond the rubbish bin in your kitchen. The continents and oceans are getting polluted with them at an alarming rate . As a result, lots of animals, marine species, in particular, get either poisoned or choked to death, mistaking plastic bags for food. And finally, recent studies have discovered plastic in human organs, which is a direct and inevitable consequence of consuming polluted food and water.

A growing number of countries all over the world are now actively trying to stop plastic pollution. For instance, over 15 countries, including France, Morocco, India and Rwanda have already banned plastic bags and are gradually replacing them with paper packages in shops and supermarkets. Moreover, a large number of environmentally aware people recycle plastic bags and campaign for this idea on local and global scales.

Among other things, Ukrainian scientists from Suma have recently invented edible bags. Though it may sound a little bit off- putting and surprising , they can be used as both carrier bags and food since they consist of natural proteins. However, the greatest value is in being biogradable. Thus, the experiment conducted by the BBC journalists showed that it takes around a month for the bags to dissolve in the soil, at the same time serving as a natural fertilizer. As well as that, the bags, invented by the young scientists can endure both low and high temperatures, which is another undeniable plus.

Whereas some other countries like India have succeeded in developing similar biogradable bags, Ukrainian invention has already been appreciated for its unique combination of low-cost production and caring capability. According to the inventor Dmytro Bidiuk, lots of manufacturers and entrepreneurs in Ukraine use organic bags to make their products and services eco-friendly. What is more, foreign and local environmental campaigners and investors got interested in funding the project and further research. Hopefully, it will be one of those ground-breaking inventions that will contribute to making our planet a better place.
