Comments on: Is There Animal Fat in Your Plastic Bag? http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/08/is-there-animal-fat-in-your-plastic-bag/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:04:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: liz http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/08/is-there-animal-fat-in-your-plastic-bag/comment-page-1/#comment-42933 liz Tue, 30 Oct 2012 04:10:03 +0000 http://plasticfreeveg.com/?p=78#comment-42933 eek. another great reason to skip the plastic!

I am not a vegan.i am shocked at the way humans misuse animals.whats really frustrating is that in India given the layout of the society, the civic issues, pollution its extremely difficult to carry cloth bags like olden days..I hv been a user of plastic bags due to its convenience-I am clean freak – so I wash them and reuse them..its very difficult to imagine going out with non-plastic bags-in public transport and then carrying all that stuff and try to limit the stuff into the few bags we carry..its almost impossible..Is nt there a way to petition and stop them fm using the addtitives..
Thanks

Really? Looking up & learning about things & trying to eliminate them from your life, is hypocrisy?

No one can be 100% Vegan, but being vegan is about doing the best one can possibly do, per their given life & situations they are in.

when people commit to live veganly they don´t actually commit to saving the world. It would be great to do that but the world is too big, sorry. We commit to start diminishing the usage of animal products. Lots of changes have been made so we can consume and not live in a teepee, that is very nice. Changes take time, you know. Unfortunately, we still have to use out toxic computers to exchange ideas about what we can do to become wiser consumers.. in the hopes that one day all of our actions don´t harm our mother earth. If we isolate from society, as you suggest, how are we going to change it? That is a bit contradictory, don´t you think?

You wouldnt know that so many products out there were made of animal by-product. Its amazing that so many ‘treehuggers’ jump on the ‘go green bandwagon’, but so few actually live a completely ‘animal free’, ‘pollutant-free life’. Hipocrisy. While we can all make choices, you cannot forget the world in which we live in, in which we all benift by, in which we all enjoy a care-free, leisurely existence. And tell me I am wrong for those of you who live completely off the grid (and since you all all posting emails, you must be using computers, which are made of some of the most toxic pollutants known to man). If you feel that strongly, go live in a teepee. Oh wait, didnt natives use animal skins for clothing and protection? Guess yer all screwed then. Me? I will still use plastic bags when I need ‘em.

I had absolutely no idea, and feel more than a little used and abused to find this is a process THEY don’t feel we need to know about. I have caught my cat licking a plastic bag that came in on a 12 roll of toilet tissue, which has perplexed me to no end…now I have the disgusting, gross answer to why. I found this blog on the treehugger site, very informative. Thanks for the info, I will let other know so they can keep these things out of their homes!

Me guess it’s rooted from the days where things are sources and exploit to the very maximum extend, the so call side effects of those harmful substance or their byproducts was never in the equations.
