| Reusable Grocery Bags are already the "norm" in other countries and are now catching on in the United States. Many cities already have, or are planning, bans on the plastic grocery bags that we think of as free. Soon there will be a charge for each plastic bag that is used. Will you pay the 10 to 25 cent fee for every plastic grocery bag you use or will you have your own reusable bags? Plastic grocery bags are polluting our planet They use huge amounts of petroleum and energy to produce and do not bio-degrade. Plastic "photo-degrades" which simply means that it breaks down into smaller particles and emits toxins into our soil and ground water. Plastic bags litter the streets, streams and environment. Thousands of marine animals suffer plastic bag related deaths each year. 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic shopping bags are now used worldwide every year, with a very small percentage actually being recycled. Cloth reusable bags are the solution Every reusable bag can reduce plastic bag waste by at least 1,000 bags per year. If every consumer owned, and used, at least one cloth reusable grocery bag it would make a huge impact on our environment and oil use. Many reusable grocery bags available are petroleum based. Polyester, nylon, and polypropylene are all petroleum based products. They are reusable, which is good but, they also use huge amounts of petroleum and do not bio-degrade. Essentially they replace disposable plastic bags with reusable plastic bags. Cotton is a sustainable resource biodegradable, and non petroleum based. The better choice is to use a natural fiber like cotton. Cotton is soft, durable and machine washable it is the perfect choice for a great reusable grocery bag. |
