A trash bag is a plastic bag.
And it's bad for the environment.
Fortunately, there is a simple trick to stop using plastic garbage bags.
All you need to do is learn how to make eco-friendly and economical garbage bags... with folded sheets of newspaper!
Don't worry, this trick is very easy to do. Watch:
1. Make a square of 75 cm side with the sheets of newspaper.
2. Fold them in half to make a triangle.
3. Cut off the excess if necessary.
4. Fold the right tip to the left over the fold.
5. Fold the left tip to the right under the fold.
6. Fold the points down and tuck them inside the fold.
7. Open your folding.
8. Put it in the trash.
There you go, you made your trash bag out of newspaper :-)
It's not that complicated, is it? And what's more, it's a smart and quick way to recycle newsprint!
You had to think about it... To help you make this newspaper garbage bag, you can go to this La Récup site which shows you using photos how to make a folding.
In addition to saving money, I'm doing something for the planet, because we all know that it's good to use as little plastic bags as possible, which pollute and degrade too slowly.
Of course, it's easier to line the wastebasket with this trick. But by sticking several sheets of newspaper between them, you can go so far as to fill a 30-litre bin. Afterwards it might be less solid...
Garbage bags of 20 litres cost on average €5 the 40 copies. Knowing that we use about 150 per year, with my trick we save practically 20 € .
When you put these €20 in your kitty, in addition to the other euros that we save you every day, what will you do with it at the end of the year?
