The Story of a Plastic Bag

Description

The Story of a Plastic Bag map journal from the "DCPS Recycles! School Waste Story Map" series. Have you ever wondered how plastic bags are made or where plastic comes from? You might bring your lunch or your sandwich to school in a plastic bag. It’s very convenient! Chances are, you have lots of plastic bags at your house. Have you ever considered what materials these bags are made out of? What does it take to make a plastic bag? How does it get to your house? 
The DCPS Recycles! program is designed to fulfill legal requirements; improve building operations; reduce waste of money and natural resources; achieve the SustainableDC target of zero waste by 2032; and teach DCPS students values and skills for a sustainable 21st century. The goal is to sort all waste properly so as much as possible can be composted or recycled instead of sent to a landfill or incinerator! Agency Website.
