Ecology
The word "ECOLOGY" seems to be the most important word in the world. But what is really ecological and good for the environment, and what is not? Aren't some of the initiatives "ecological" only by terminology? As eco-citizens we must be alert and form our own opinion on what is of interest to us. The change of our behavior and habits is more needed than the change of our products. "Think globally, act locally".

Plastic bags are perfectly suited for recycling.

Using plastic bags pressed with an iron one can also create fashionable, designer bags and toys.
The innovative value of a plastic bag
So what is the fabulous plastic bag? "A plastic bag is made of ecologically clean polymers (polyethylene and polypropylene). A polymer is nothing else but a line-chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the products of decomposition and burning of plastic bags are ecologically clean. As a result of burning these, only the omnipresent in nature substances are created: carbon dioxide and water".
