| Yes you are because now that's that many less plastic bags going in the dump. Yes, the bag will eventually go in the dump one day but at least you got the most out of it. I just take all my bags to wal mart and put it in the recycling box there. |

| New idea #1 with ... ( 2 weeks ago by bdelder42) |
| New idea #1 with the plastic bags. OK, this is not new but we had not seen it until recently in a class I hosted on making the bags. In the video we are sewing the different pieces of plastic together. The sewing steps can be dropped all together as all you need is an iron. By ironing the pieces together you're making a weld which is stronger than sewing. It works great, is more kid friendly and is more watertight. Have Fun! Brad |
| the bag itself is ... ( 2 weeks ago by genesislover) |
| the bag itself is already two layers, the front part of the bag and the back. if you fold it over once it's four, and then folding it a second time would make it eight. |
| Really Cool Idea #2 ... ( 2 weeks ago by bdelder42) |
| Really Cool Idea #2 OK, we have been trying for some time to put text and images on the plastic and my wife (Amanda) finally found an excellent solution. Simple iron-on t-shirt transfers work great! You can use an inkjet printer to transfer your image to the transfer paper and iron that image onto the plastic. You will need to let the iron-on cool more than normal after being applied, but it works great! Have Fun! Brad |
| But she started ... ( 2 weeks ago by icanreadncount) |
| But she started with the bag cut open, then folded it back closed (which seems unnecessary to me-why cut it apart just to fuse it back together?). So she is using just 4-ply, not 8. Unless I'm missing something. |
| That's very cool. ... ( 2 weeks ago by kingblasphemous) |
| That's very cool. The material created looks similar to the material used for garden rubbish bags which is highly durable. |

| ok thats great but did anyone catch he using the backpack buckles. If hes going green as one may call it....why doesn't he just use the thrift store backpack? Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to do good we kinda loose track of the purpose of what one was doing in the first place. I love the Earth. I respect the earth but damn dude did you not think about that? |

| As mcfiredrill said, he could probably use that for something else. And did you notice that he didn't use the buckles from that bag? He used the seat belt and the five dollar ones he bought. (why would he use the other ones if he bought those other two for five dollars?) And this wasn't about going green in the first place, it's just about making a weekend project. |
