Part three

1. Do you agree with this new law? Why or why not?
I do, because althought so politicians have used them as publicity, I think it has passed that part.
2. What has been done so far?
It has only been aproved, still a long tim euntil it gets to its final part
3. What needs to be done to enforce such a law?
Campaings that dont involve politcins at all.
4. What campaigns would you suggest?
Publicty in T.V. and streets, but also on super markets and drug stores.

Part two

a. What are some of the potential benefits of charging fees for and/or banning plastic bags?
Charging a fee for plastics bags means that people would be in some way forced to use other type of bags, specially because nobody likes to loose theyre money
b. What are some of the potential drawbacks of such programs?
The mayor problem with all this is that goverment dosent take the program seriously and stop taking care of it.
c. Which benefits and drawbacks seem the most compelling? Why?
I can´t tell. One thing I know very well is that everythig has the quality of being very good or very bad. Im saying these because evrything of what I have read says that this a great way to prevent that plastic bagss keep affecting our world, but since this subject has been involved with politics, I woulndt say any of the is more compellign than the other.
d. Would you support a local law charging fees for (or banning) plastic bags? Why or why not?
I would as long as it was take under the control of an specific organization that is related to this, this way no politicians that are interested in gaining popularity can use it in thaeir benefit.

First group of questions

I. Why are plastic bags so common?
Because they used on almost all the general stores or drug sores and they are very handy as they can transported ans stored without taking to much space.
II. In what other ways is plastic used?
You can find plastic in objects that work with electricity, in clothes and in other ways of transportation and storage.
III. What are the benefits of plastic bags?
Well, the only benefict I see in there use is that they dont take much space and they are cheap to produce.
IV. What are the dangers of plastic bags?
The number one problem with them is thte fact of them being plastic. Plastic is very difficult to be reused since plastic cant be transformed and people dont have the concience to recycle them. Another mayor problem is that they seem to dissaper, but this only an illusion result of the plastic bags tearing into smaller pieces that finish into pieces so small that cant be seen.
V. What has been done so far?
Campaings organized by people and restrictiopns from the goverment, such as a tax for plastic bags and theyr prohibition in some places
VI. Has it been successful? Why or why not?
Thgis problem as many other is not over with a ajor acction, it takes time. It takes time because people dont get organized in one day, it takes of hard work and patience to solve this issues.
