Something that sparked my curiosity was that the narrator mentioned that you can use less plastic by not getting or using Kraft singles which are each individually wrapped and people decide not to just get a block of real cheese not partial cheese. I do not understand where those people are coming from, maybe they get plastic wasting cheese because it is easy to just grab one? They would use less by getting more p122

I found it interesting how on page 59 the author talks about how plastics 3-7 are not always recycled, and only 1 and 2 are almost always recyclable since many people think all plastics are recyclable because they often times say they are recyclable and depending on where you live they most likely are not.

I think that plastic 4 is worse than the other types of plastic because on page 130 the author says that one to two million plastic bags are consumed worldwide each minute, and that if plastic bags are recycled they can clog the machines, and that plastic bags take a really long time to decompose (400- 1000 years). Also the fact that far too many are used we can´t keep track is a bad sign.

Something that stood out to me was that only some plastics can be recycled efficiently, even though some may say that they are recyclable. On page 130 the author shows that when plastic bags are recycled they clog up the machines, and cost millions of dollars to fix.I do not understand why the companies would say that the bags are recyclable if they are plastic 4 and cannot be recycled.
