HELP! need a new school bag... ANY IDEAS?

renner

well, the one i have right now is pretty much completely torn apart lol...

so i need a new bag for school. i'm not sure if i should get a one-shoulder tote bag kind of thing like the one i currently have, or a backpack (any suggestions?). i prefer a shoulder bag because then i can carry it to class with me and have all my stuff easily accessible, but it needs to be in good quality (unlike the last one) so it can last (hopefully i won't have to buy a new one for high school next year). anyways, what are some good stores or brands to check out? also, which kind and color do you think i should get? nothing too expensive please.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:

Answer
JanSport has some good backpacks but I see you want a tote.
Aeropostale has some cute totes check there! And theyre on sale right now for 14.99! Might be different from where you live, I live in Canada so there might be price differences. Hollister has some totes too.
Forever 21 also. Look around, go to different stores, lots of stores has cute totes. Maybe try going into a store you don't even like and just look around maybe you'll see a tote thats cute toooo.

How do I prevent frizz while using paper bag method for curling hair?

school bags canada image

Smart101

I tried it yesterday, and this morning, the curls came out really cool, but then(I think it was because of the rain), my hair got all frizzy and more frizzy as time went by and by the end of second period in school, I had to use my fingers to straighten it out. I don't have any mousse or a serum and I can't buy any, but I do have hairspray. Any tips plz? Thx :)

Answer
I recommend you a good hair product that can help you to control the frizz in your hair, it's Pro Naturals Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment with Heat Protector, it helps strengthen the hair that's prone to breakage, smoothes the hair, reduces Frizz and helps prevent heat damage, plus leaves hair healthy, shiny and resilient. Check it out at http://bit.ly/pwm2r3 or if you are in Canada at http://bit.ly/p0PMWk . Hope it helps.

Do you want to be taxed for using plastic bags like the Irish are?

belladonna

Plastic Bag usage is a big issue. Do you want to take action or let the Government charge lots more taxes as the Irish Government does? The only real way to do prevent more taxes and charges is to use hemp or cotton bags, use canvas rucksacks, shopping trolleys or not to use bags at all.
WHY?
Plastic Bags: There are a lot of reasons given why people 'like' plastic bags. However, they still never decompose no matter how many times you use them. This is compounded when people tie their rubbish into plastic bags. If you insist on using plastic bags you will be charged high taxes for doing so. So re-use as many times as possible then take them supermarket to be recycled.
Biodegradeable Bags/Bioplastics: Polylactic acid (PLA) a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid. These vegetable based bioplastics biodegrades quickly under composting conditions and does not leave toxic residue. However, bioplastic have own environmental impacts caused by manufacturing and disposal of end product. Again you will be charged for these impacts and taxed
but on the plus side biodegradable bags (from potato and corn starches) are a new thriving industry
Paper Bags. Great if singly composted. In land fill can take years for layers to decompose. Still an organic material. But there is cost of production, costs to environment of pulp trees (monocultures, loss of habitat, etc) costs of recycling/disposal. Again you will have to pay for these production costs and disposal costs and taxed.
In UK instead of stop supplying plastic bags you get rewards for bringing your own. Money back, green points. Even with supermarket home delivery See Tesco. This has not been effective so we are back to taxes. In New Zealand Cloth bags are already promoted and sold in supermarkets. However this is not stopping plastic bag useage.
France is banning plastic bags 2007 others are moving towards it. The most effective is taxing plastic bag use. If we do not take action we will be taxed as the Irish are for using plastic bags. Effective as a decrease of 90% plastic bag use in Ireland.
****Jet 20 a good question For a local government the issues are that plastic bags account for 8,000 tons of waste generated in Paris each year, at a cost of more than $2 million. And burning plastic bags to dispose of them poses a health hazard. They never decompose so bulk out landfill sites. How much money is spent by your local council retrieving discarded plastic products and taking them to the tip? If these biodegrade then they would not be a problem. No litter collection, less refuse collection, less tax too. Local councils charges because they are charged by central government who in turn has to pay penalties for landfill (charges)
********Chuck T the disposer will be your local council/authority. Landfill taxes/refuse collection taxes, central government penalties etc etc. Then they pass these taxes on to YOU. The rate payer. Burning plastics is not an answer - toxins are harmful to man and environment.
***** Chuck T. What is proper disposal of plastics. No landfill space left. Can't burn. Don't decompose.??
******* AuntB93 Yes I use cotton bags too. In UK the stores have tried to reduce plastic bag usage with points, money back and in store recycling. This has not been effective enough. There are no more landfill sites. Look at current position of ITALY and rubbish due to this issue. NO I don't want to be taxed either but it is very effective method easy for Governments to apply and unless we act and reduce it ourselves (canvas or cotton bags) then they are left with ban plastic bags or tax. Public outrage or More Revenue? Wonder which your government will chose?
***AuntB93 We cannot get rid of plastics so we have to recycle them so many items are made from the recycled plastic. If they were made out of wood they would return to the earth by decomposing eventually. Again processing and disposal is expensive in cash and environmental terms.

I totally agree governments waste money, resources and creativity. I would suggest people power. If everybody took canvas/cotton bags the market would have no choice but to act responsibly. There is lot of power in market solutions that is not available to the average man. Have a look at some of the ways you are 'persuaded' to buy something. Take that choice away from the market. Put it firmly back in the hands of the person. It is so easy: everybody takes a canvas/cotton/hemp bag.

Answer
In Britain I used a market basket, tried to use it here in college and was told it was against store packaging policies. Then came fabric bags, I use these as often as possible. When I was in Canada, I lived near pulp mills. Don't ever let anybody tell you there's less pollution in paper! You haven't seen cyanide dumped in the water and sulphur dioxide in the air, or sugar maples and spruce trees replaced by fast growing tree weeds like cottonwood, poplar, silver leaf maples, Manitoba maples and Siberian elm. Plastic bags are reusable and recyclable, but also way overused. Our local store insists that New York law says they have to put a six-pack in one as well as all sorts of other things which have their own packaging and handles that are easier to grab and support than the flimsy bags which break. While taxes may be an incentive to change our government more often abuses such things without any real change taking place. We have bottle refunds and just look at all the bottles and cans which litter our highways, while the state uses the surplus collected as a slush fund. Stores also regularly abuse the law, charging for containers they will refuse to accept returned. Can you imagine what happens when they extend this to bags? And they'll still pack bags within bags within bags. I regularly ask for paper rather than plastic only to be told, "we don't have that", or bring my own bags to be told,"those aren't ours, we can't use them", or distinctly look for boxes to carry heavy items (they don't break or tear like paper or plastic bags) only to find any the store had are in their dumpster broken down underneath smelly and rotting trash. Most of these stores are following policies of major chains rather than small grocers that are locally owned like there were once upon a time. The chains are always looking at the bottom line which means volume, volume, volume, rapid turnover of inventory, and the necessary discouragement of theft, pilfering, and tampering (understandable, unfortunately), so things are grossly over packaged in large plastic, break resistant displays, or each individual piece separately plastic bagged and cushioned in form moulded styrofoam in plastic lined boxes with shrink wrapped plastic seals and tons of tape. Did you know it frequently takes getting through no less than four seals to open a simple bottle of pills? And once opened less than 1/3 of the bottle or vial contains pills, the rest is packing. All this goes somewhere, we pay taxes on the disposal. Yet nobody ever seems to attack this waste, they just call for more of it by yet more government regulations. The Irish and most other peoples throughout the Commonwealth, have very different attitudes to law and respecting people and the environment than Americans do. Moral education is part of their normal school curriculum. They regularly see more benefit from their taxes than we do, and are more amenable to paying and establishing taxes as a vehicle of change. It won't work here until we're ready to work at it.

Proper disposal of plastic is to RECYCLE it,and I don't mean use it as a trash bag! I've seen porches built from recycled plastic and beautiful carpets woven from it. The fact that plastic doesn't degrade and deteriorate can be as positive as it is negative. It can save an awful lot of trees, and prevent a lot of environmental poisoning. Simple answers aren't always the easiest. And we can't expect government to do it.

I live in a rural area, am no longer able to drive, and have extremely limited shopping options since my wife works nights. If I boycott, I don't shop, and the store which is overcrowded doesn't miss me in the least. So should I pay more?

Since plastic is harmful to the environment, should it be banned (completely) throughout Canada?

school bags canada image

Bella

This is for a school assignment and we are debating this topic.I need ideas opposing to banning plastics.Thanks!

Answer
In reality, plastic is necessary.

Plastic accounts for the vast majority of packaging, and material in producing most household products. Even clothing made from materials like polyester all trace from the same materials used to make plastic. Without plastic, most clothes, electronics, and packaged items would need to be made from something else. The average TV set (not including panel TVs) are enclosed in black plastic. Every packaged food item would be in paper, and is extremely susceptible to water and damage. Drinks would come in metal bottles or paper cartons. CDs would be outlawed. Pipes would hav eto be made out of metals, many which have toxic elements. And everything from tupperware, ziploc bags, classroom chairs, and fuel tanks for cars would be no longer around.

This is what would happen if plastics (all of them) would be banned.

Plastic is indeed harmful, since it is made from oil. But so is paper! Those are trees! Plastic composes the majority of everything we see and touch. there is no avoiding it. removing it would be removing clothing from society (really.)
