B is for Backpacks

Backpacks are an essential part of school. You use them for, carrying your text books, homework, projects and more. So now I'll say something about what I think should be done with them. (Or how they should "evolve"). In the future, backpacks should be made of recycled plastic, craft materials, and whatever else can be recycled. Except paper. It should be made from these materials because year after year kids see the new backpack styles and get a new backpack. Even if the one from last year is still intact. If backpacks were made from these materials, it wouldn't be such a problem to throw out all those bags. Also, if craft materials were in the mix, they could make the bags look really cool and kids might keep their backpacks longer.

One down side to recycled materials is that they wouldn't be nearly as strong as the material one, therefore needing you to be extremely careful with them. You wouldn't be able to just shove your books in your bag and run. No, you would have to gently place in your books and arrange them just right. But then again there probably is a way to make the recycled materials strong, especially with all the advanced equipment that we have these days.

So with everything said, in summary, we should make backpacks out of recycled materials to cut down on some landfill, filling. So that is my opinion on Backpacks and I hope you enjoyed!!
