Americans throw away about 100 billion plastic bags each year and majority of them end up in landfills or escape by the wind and take over the ocean. We always hear about how plastic bags are doing horrible things to wildlife, especially in the ocean, and now there finally is good news about something to reduce this issue. Plastic bags can be converted into diesel, natural gas, and other petroleum products. Also, it is great because it creates much more energy than it takes to convert it. This is excellent news for the future and it is hopeful for the animals that are in danger daily due to the effects of plastic bags.
