An apparatus for material storage and transport uses one or more bags, each constructed from one of more flexible plastic sheets and forming a chamber for holding material. A bag may be coupled to an adjacent bag by at least one strip of flexible material, which may optionally be perforated to allow adjacent bags to be separated from one another. Multiple bags may be arranged side-by-side, or end-to-end, in a line. The ends of the line may be removably coupled to one another to form a loop.

1. An apparatus for storage and transport of material, comprising: a plurality of bags, each constructed from one or more flexible plastic sheets and forming a chamber for holding material, the chamber having an inner chamber surface and an outer chamber surface and each plastic sheet of the one or more flexible plastic sheets having a front surface that forms the outer surface of the chamber, a back surface that forms the inner surface of the chamber, and at least one edge surface; andat least one strip of flexible material attached to each bag of the plurality of bags; where, for each bag of the plurality of bags, the at least one strip of flexible material overlays a first region of a front surface of a flexible plastic sheet that forms the outer chamber surface of the bag, wherein each bag of the plurality of bags is coupled to an adjacent bag by the at least one strip of flexible material, wherein the at least one strip of flexible material is configured to support the weight of any material in each bag of the plurality of bags during transport, wherein the plurality of bags are arranged edge to edge in a line, and wherein a strip of flexible material of the at least one strip of material is removably and directly coupled end-to-end, such that the strip of flexible material forms a loop and the line of bags is arranged in a loop. 2. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one strip of flexible material is perforated to allow adjacent bags of the plurality of bags to be separated from one another. 3. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein the plurality of bags are spaced apart to facilitate stacking of bags, with spacing from center line to center line of adjacent bags of the plurality of bags being spaced greater apart than a diameter of a single full bag of the plurality of bags. 4. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one strip of flexible material is removably attached to the bag. 5. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein the plastic sheet that forms a corner of each of the plurality bags is removable to allow material to be removed from the bag. 6. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a drinking straw, embedded in a wall of each of the plurality bags, which allows material to be removed from the bag. 7. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a sealable nozzle, embedded in a wall of each of the plurality bags, the sealable nozzle enabling material to be removed from the bag. 8. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a valve, embedded in a wall of each of the plurality bags, which allows material to be removed from the bag when the valve is pinched. 9. An apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein the one of more flexible plastic sheets are constructed of a biodegradable material. 10. An apparatus for material storage and transport comprising: one or more flexible plastic sheets joined to form a first bag comprising: a first chamber for holding material;a first reinforced region forming a first end of the first chamber, the first reinforced region formed by the one or more flexible plastic sheets; anda second reinforced region forming a second end of the first chamber, opposite the first end of the chamber, the second reinforced region formed by the one or more flexible plastic sheets;a first hole formed in the first reinforced region;a second hole formed in the second reinforced region;a connector that passes through the first and second holes to directly connect the first reinforced region to the second reinforced region such that the one or more flexible plastic sheets that form the first chamber form a loop of sufficient length to be looped over a shoulder of a person to facilitate transportation of the apparatus; anda removal element for removing material from the first chamber, where at least one of the first and second reinforced regions contains embedded material to provide structural strength and reinforcement. 11. An apparatus in accordance with claim 10, wherein the removal element for removing material from the first chamber comprises a means selected from the group consisting of: a pinch spout;a valve;a retractable straw; anda tear-off region. 12. An apparatus in accordance with claim 10, wherein the chamber is elongated and sized to contain approximately 1 liter of liquid material. 13. An apparatus in accordance with claim 10, the connector being a hook that passes through the first and second holes to removably and directly connect the first reinforced region to the second reinforced region to form the self-forming loop. 14. An apparatus for material storage and transport comprising: one or more flexible plastic sheets joined to form a first bag comprising: a first chamber for holding material;a first reinforced region forming a first end of the first chamber, the first reinforced region formed by the one or more flexible plastic sheets; anda second reinforced region forming a second end of the first chamber, opposite the first end of the chamber, the second reinforced region formed by the one or more flexible plastic sheets;a first hole formed in the first reinforced region;a second hole formed in the second reinforced region;a removal element for removing material from the first chamber; and where at least one of the first and second reinforced regions of the first bag contains embedded material to provide structural strength and reinforcement, where the first bag has a ring shape, and where the first and second reinforced regions occupy adjacent regions of the ring-shaped first bag such that they may be coupled using a connector that passes through the first and second holes. 15. An apparatus in accordance with claim 14, further comprising a connector that passes through first and second holes of first and second reinforced regions of the first bag. 16. The apparatus of claim 10, where the embedded material comprises string material. 17. The apparatus of claim 10, where at least one of the first and second reinforced regions is heat-sealed. 18. The apparatus of claim 10, where the first and second reinforced regions are configured to have structural strength to support at least 1 liter of water.
