The Case for Reusable Shopping Bags
Energy Conservation is in the Bag
A million a minute. That’s how many grocery bags are used in the world every day. Eventually the plastic ones find their way into landfills, dumped onto islands, polluting our lands and seas. The production of paper bags depletes our forests.
The Solution: Reusable Shopping Bags
In 2002, Ireland tackled an increasing problem of plastic bag litter with a 15 percent tax: plastic bag use dropped 95 percent and now nearly every Irish shopper uses reusable bags
If You Must Use Plastic: Recycle
Don’t toss plastic bags out with the regular trash. Collect them, when you go back to the grocery store, toss them in the recycle bin.
