Reuseable bags

Did you know there is an island of plastic trash twice the size of the state of Texas, floating around in the Pacific Ocean? I don't know about you, but I find that to be astounding.

Eco friendly reusable grocery bags have seen their popularity surge in the past few years. They have a dramatically reduced environmental impact. So far this year over 325 billion disposable paper and plastic bags have been wasted and are piling up in landfills (and our oceans). Many countries across the globe are passing laws to tax or ban plastic bag usage and people are starting to act on the Earth's behalf. Together we can help save this planet with every bag we reuse. Seattle's bill for taxing plastic bags was just voted down, but it is just the beginning and a sign of change. Communities need to continue to strive towards a solution and be proactive about setting an example for others.
