Stop Plastic Bags Now
More people in the world use paper and plastic bags than material bags. People say that five hundred disposable paper and plastic bags get used every year. This website is a way for you to help the environment. Re-using material bags while you shop, will contribute to making your local area cleaner and not just your local area, our environment. Re-usable material bags can be used over and over again, unlike paper or plastic bags. They hurt the environment as well as the animals. "The pollution caused by plastic bags is seventy percent more than paper bags". Even though many people still choose to use paper or plastic bags, they are bad for our planet. Because material bags are not widely used, many people don't even know you can buy them at your local store. Many grocers don't give you the option of using re-usable material bags. Next time you go to the shops either use material bags or the green recycle bags supplied for you.
What are We Trying to Achieve?
We are trying to make people aware of what plastic bags do to our environment and trying to stop people from using plastic bags. We are doing this because plastic bags are killing marine life, polluting the beautiful waters and many more things. It takes plastic bags over 1000 years to dissolve. We are trying to stop having plastic bags floating around the ocean so the earth won't turn out to be a plastic world. Please discover more about plastic bags and what they do.
