Smart.
Question, would this make it take longer to decompose? Because it's all tied together instead of seperate?
Awesome bag either way
A thousand-and-one years vs a thousand I would think.
How many bags do you think it will take the complete?
Idk but I'm part of a makerspace and I bet at least a few of them also have some bags they feel too bad to throw away.
You don't use it for trash?
I've been netting more than I use for a while so a looot have built up.
The micro plastics will probably last a couple hundred years but the plastic shopping bag as a recognizable object will typically disintegrate within 5-10 years. It may last a bit longer being crocheted like that, assuming a good portion is protected from UV light.
Yeah the real eco friendly aspect is it lasting longer than and upcycling the existing already used plastic bags and actually used to prevent more from accumulating; I'm trying to make something that can be taken to the grocery store instead of getting more bags.
