Bags of Trouble

You’d think that by now there’d be enough of these things around. Bags have been known to predate civilisation, and they’ve certainly been a timesaver to aid humans on their journeys. Why then, have we suddenly resorted to covering up a single item? If there’s a need to conceal it, why can’t we go back to paper? It may not have the strength required but there’s a bag that predates that in the form of woven string. The truth is that see-though plastic is a germophobe’s dream. It allows them to examine products without physically touching them. I do wonder what they did before this substance was readily available and whether some unknown vaccine has skipped a generation or two by not having the ability to spread its immunity to others. But then again, our goods have never been manufactured so far away as they are today. I hope that people are taking note and are preparing to buy local. We’ve seen what’s out there. Now it’s time to make our own version.
