LIVE GREEN with Reusable Bags

Adopt a healthy "reusable bag habit" and JUST SAY NO to single-use plastic bags. And, don't forget to recycle your Greens + bottle!

• Up to one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide EVERY YEAR!
• Only 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled per year. The rest can persist in landfills for centuries.
• More than 1 million birds along with more than 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die EVERY YEAR from getting tangled in or eating plastic.
• Plastic doesn't biodegrade. That means, unless they've been incinerated — a noxious proposition — every plastic bag you've ever used in your entire life, still exists in some form, even fragmented bits. That includes all the bags for the newspapers on your doorstep and the many bags from grocery and retail stores.
• A swirling mass of plastic trash spanning an area twice the size of Texas was discovered in the North Pacific subtropical gyre, located about 1,000 miles off the coast of California. This mass, including fragments of plastic bags, is estimated to have six times more plastic than biomass, including plankton and jellyfish. "It's an endless stream of incessant plastic particles everywhere you look," says Dr. Marcus Eriksen, director of education and research for the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, which studies plastics in the marine environment. "Fifty or sixty years ago, there was no plastic out there." Read more of this informative article.
