Energy Conservation Project	,[object Object],By Kevin Klott,[object Object]
The Questions,[object Object],How much waste will my wife and I save by reusing plastic freezer and sandwich bags?,[object Object], How much money will we save?,[object Object]
Data Collection,[object Object],Timeline: Three weeks,[object Object],Recording and Calculations:,[object Object],	Sandwich and gallon plastic bags washed daily,[object Object],  Money saved,[object Object],  Grocery bags brought home	,[object Object]
Methodology,[object Object],How much does a box of sandwich bags cost?,[object Object], $8.99 for a 125 count box of bags ($.07 each),[object Object],How many plastic bags do we use every week?,[object Object], 20 bags,[object Object],How much money do we save a week? ,[object Object], a measly $1.40,[object Object]
Data Collection Errors,[object Object],This study assumes we will always buy sandwich bags at $8.99. ,[object Object],This study didn’t include the plastic bags we used but didn’t bring home.,[object Object]
Analysis of Data,[object Object],Three Week Total = 60 bags, $0.07 each, $4.20 dollars,[object Object],Six Month Totals = 480 bags, $0.07 each, $33.60 ,[object Object],Yearly Totals = 960 bags, $0.07 each, $67.20,[object Object]
Data Comparison,[object Object],According to reusablebags.com, each reusable bag you use over a lifetime eliminates 1,000 plastic bags from landfills.,[object Object],Based on our three week average, and assuming we live for 50 more years, we will reuse 48,000 plastic bags.,[object Object],On average, in 50 years we will save 48,000,000 bags from going into landfills.,[object Object]
What does it all mean?,[object Object],According to www.wearewhatwedo.org, a plastic bag needs 500 years to decay in a landfill.,[object Object],The purpose of reusing plastic bags isn’t to save money, but to save the environment.,[object Object],Human error played a role in this study. As teachers, we use more plastic bags during the school year than summer months. ,[object Object]
Plastic Bag Saving Strategies,[object Object],Sandwich and freezer bags are sturdy and can be used multiple times before breaking down.,[object Object],Bring reusable bags to the grocery store.,[object Object],Given that Anchorage no longer recycles plastic bags, donate your bags to dog parks around town that need them.,[object Object],Online resources: reusablebags.com and wearewhatwedo.org.,[object Object]
Questions for Further Study,[object Object],How many grocery bags are we saving each year by using reusable grocery bags?,[object Object],Identify other unique ways to use plastic bags until Anchorage begins recycling them again.,[object Object],The environmental effect of reusing non-recyclable plastic containers.,[object Object]
