Green Tip 18: Ban the Plastic Bags Already!


PLASTIC BAGS =  VERY BAD

Each year the U.S. uses 84 billion plastic bags, a significant portion of the 500 billion used worldwide. They are not biodegradable, and are making their way into our oceans, and subsequently, the food chain. Stronger, reusable bags are an inexpensive and readily available option.

Plastic bags, not just hanging out in trees, there are one way too many of them consuming our oceans!  These days it's easy to just reuse the bags you have or buy reusable, durable bags.
