Bag It - PLASTIC

A whole lot of statistics
These tables are courtesy of the Austrailian Government's research into the effects of plastic bags on their environment.
The table below has a few errors,  the initial wear and tear assumptions on calico and woven bags have been overestimated.  Later research has shown that with contamination and lost bags taken into consideration it is assumed that calico bags last on average 14 trips,  while woven make 18.  This severly damages their usefulness as an alternative.
