DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS 12 July 2022

Paper Bag Day

It is celebrated on 12 July annually to make people aware of the pollution caused due to plastic and the serious threat that it poses to the natural environment. Plastic waste takes thousands of years to decompose. Therefore, it is important to understand the ill effects of single-use plastic bags.
In 1852, American inventor Francis Wole established the first paper bag machine. Also in 1871, Margaret E. Knight designed another machine that could produce flat-bottom paper bags. She became famous and became known as the “mother of the grocery bag”. In 1883, Charles Stillwell invented the machine that could produce square-bottom paper bags with pleated sides that made them easy to fold and store. In 1912, Walter Dübner used a cord to reinforce a paper bag and add a carrying handle. Over the years, many inventors came and improved the production of paper bags.
The theme for 2022 is “If You’re ‘fantastic’, Do Something ‘dramatic’ To Cut The ‘Plastic’, Use ‘Paper Bags’.
