ART INSIGHTS Creating Wealth as a Successful Artist - John Dahlsen

Info

Are paper bags any better?As paper does come from trees... I thinkultimately a bag made from some kindof recyclable material or made from asustainable practice material would be thebest.In the US there are many initiatives tooutright ban plastic bags – as an iconicthough troubled item, do you think thebag could ultimately disappear frompublic consumption?I would hope so, we have only relied onthem for the past 50 years or so. I believepresently humanity is at a critical point intime, with our planet currently existingin a fragile ecological state, with globalwarming hastening unheard of changes,all amplifying the fact that we need all thehelp we can get. Removing mass producedplastic bags from circulation, would be agood step in the right direction, simplyretraining people to not overly consumeand to recycle where possible.155
