Reusable shopping bags are a sustainable way for us to minimize the use of
plastic and paper bags.
THE FACTS:
- Plastic bags never fully decompose.
- Plastic bag consumption has increased over the last 20 years to around 380
BILLION per year in the USA alone.
- Paper bags take 2.5 times the energy to
produce compared to plastic bags and create 5 times more waste in landfills than
plastic bags.
- Paper bags produce 70 times more air pollutants and 50 times
more water pollutants than plastic bags
- Plastic bags are responsible for
hundreds of thousands of marine animal deaths per year as they are mistaken for
food such as jellyfish as they float in the water.
- In 1998 a survey showed
that 89% of all marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean was plastic products.
-
Reusable grocery bags produce only 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions when
compared to plastic bags
It's time to change to reusable bags today!
