Plastic bags, worth the risk? A lot of states have passed laws that require stores to charge at least 5 cents per plastic bag which has some people fuming. Less 0.2 percent of plastic bags make up world pollution. Do we really need to debate a fee? There is other trash that is being dumped into the ocean, which is bad for the environment.

A good reason to eliminate a fee is less than 0.2 of garbage are plastic bags. “Total waste in the world is enormous.

Crack! The shell of an abalone breaks upon a rock after a sea otter repeatedly bangs the shell against the rock in order to retrieve the meat inside of it.

The time and duration of the observation of the animal is a crucial element in the experiment. In “The Great Crow Fallacy,” the author states,…

serious problem each year, the usage of products such as plastic bags is a highly contentious topic. Something must be done to limit the amount of plastic bags used in many communities.

The majority of landfills,…
