1. Green Colored Reusable bag

We can create our own logo for this with some slogans

Reason why we shouldn’t use Plastic bag.
Basically plastic bags are not biodegradable. Plastic bags thrown out as waste on lands do not decompose
and remain as such for a long time. This blocks the rain water getting percolated into land and instead makes
to run on the surface of land causing erosion of soil, carrying various pollutants to nearby water bodies resulting
in pollution of water. Erosion of soil in hilly areas makes the roots of trees exposed thereby trees lose their
strength to survive. Further erosion of soil causes washing off vegetation nutrients available in the soil. As
percolation of rain water into land is prevented by plastic bags, recharge of ground water is also affected.
If plastic bags are burnt, they emit hazardous gases causing air pollution. At times, cattle happen to swallow
thrown out plastic bags while they are grazing making them affected by digestion problems causing death.
Besides these ill effects of plastic bags, lot of energy is being used in manufacturing plastic bags and chemical
effluents are coming out and mixed with domestic sewage which is quite not feasible for treating or recycling
with an affordable cost. Thus plastic bags are largely affecting environment in many ways

Reason why we shouldn’t use Paper bag.

Most of the people from the whole world think that Paper bag is good then plastics bags because it is biodegradable.
But in the process of making Paper we need Trees pulp. Paper bag production delivers a global warming double-whammy
forests (major absorbers of greenhouse gases) have to be cut down, and then the subsequent manufacturing of bags produces
greenhouse gases. The majority of kraft paper is made by heating wood chips under pressure at high temperatures in a chemical
solution. As evidenced by the unmistakable stench commonly associated with paper mills, the use of these toxic chemicals contributes
to both air pollution, such as acid rain, and water pollution. Millions of gallons of these chemicals pour into our waterways each year;
the toxicity of the chemicals is long-term and settles into the sediments, working its way through the food chain. It takes 91% less
energy to recycle a pound of plastic than it takes to recycle a pound of paper. But recycling rates of either type of disposable bag are
extremely low, with only 10 to 15% of paper bags and 1 to 3% of plastic bags being recycled, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Current research demonstrates that paper in today’s landfills does not degrade or break down at a substantially faster rate than
plastic does. In fact, nothing completely degrades in modern landfills because of the lack of water, light, oxygen and other important
elements that are necessary for the degradation process to be completed. A paper bags takes up more space than a plastic bag in a
landfill, but because paper is recycled at a higher rate, saving space in landfills is less of an issue.

Why we should use Reusable bag instead of paper/Plastic bag?
But if you decline both paper and plastic bags, then how do you get your groceries home? The answer, according to many environmentalists,
is high-quality reusable shopping bags made of materials that don’t harm the environment during production and don’t need to be discarded
after each use.
We can reuse it. We are all responsible for maintaining and fostering a clean, healthy environment.  Reusable bags help reduce
waste and pollution from plastic and paper bags, and promote earth conscious alternatives.

Using environmental eco-friendly reusable
shopping bags instead of paper/ plastic bags is a culture, which will evolve over time. Reusable shopping bag makes the ‘move
in the right direction’ and becomes a lightweight and portable.

Logo with slogan
* we can make earth and above earth and we can think about other logo design too we can write some slogans about
Environment
For example:
1. Green Earth
2 .Save the Environment
3. Save the trees
4. Happy planet
Why green T-shirt?
When we see green color in our mind our mind pictures’ the green trees or greenery around us and This T-shirt is designed to aware
the public about the importance of green color in human life.
Greenery is very important for healthy life and we can stop many kinds of natural disasters with Tress or green Environment.

Logo with Slogan
I haven’t think about logo on this T-shirt design and for slogan we can write some words which represents new For example:
1. Reborn
2. New life
3. Rebirth
what is the reason behind color green and slogans?
Green color also represents new as we have new leaves in spring season we can use this green color as new. This design is for New-year. I think
of this concept because in past days we might have done many mistakes and sins so on. Forgetting those all bad memories we can restart our life
as the new leaves of the tree. This T-shirts will represent as a person is reborn with new hopes and new starts.
