Fossil fuels that are used to make plastic bags are collected through either mining or drilling. Mining involves digging or scraping to expose and excavate natural resources. Drilling reaches resources which are deep within the ground and allows those resources to flow to the surface. Both methods result in disruptions to the local habitat and emit large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Based on this information, which statement BEST identifies one advantage and one disadvantage of the "It's in the Bag" program? A The program reduces carbon emissions released during mining and drilling. However, animals would be negatively affected by the increased number of plastic bags polluting their habitats. B The program eliminates the need for fossil fuels by reusing plastic. However, the environment is negatively affected by habitat destruction since the program harvests composite lumber from natural areas. C The program eliminates the need to mine resources since composite lumber is made from recycled bags. However, animals would be negatively affected by the decreased number of trees in their habitats. D The program reduces the need for harvesting lumber by replacing wood with composite lumber. However, the environment is negatively affected by habitat destruction since the program uses products made from fossil fuels.
