Helping the environment in a big way begins with taking small, individual steps towards greener living. Opting for reusable shopping bags instead of paper or plastic is a simple, eco-friendly way to reduce harmful toxins and pollutants in the environment. Paper bags contribute to pollution in the air and in our water, while plastic bags can take years to decompose, breaking down into smaller toxins and contaminating our soil and waterways. By making a simple, eco-conscious decision to use reusable shopping bags, you can help reduce the environmental consumption of paper and plastic bags consumed each year. According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year. One reusable shopping bag eliminates 300-500 plastic bags from our landfills. By making a simple, eco-conscious choice to use a reusable shopping bag you can help reduce the environmental consumption of paper and plastic bags consumed each year.
A reusable shopping bag is the perfect accessory for the eco-friendly consumer and helpful in reducing toxins created by paper and plastic. Always be sure to carry a reusable cotton tote for impromptu shopping and replace your grocery bags with durable, environmentally friendly, reusable shopping bags.
