Many critize me for my efforts in going Green... I think of it this way...why not strive to make the Earth cleaner, healthier & better for myself, my children & really everyone. So I try my best at doing all the simple things I can think of. The biggest thing I get made fun of for is the fact that I use reusable bags when I go to the grocery store...here are 6 reasons I just came across for doing such a small thing as using a reusable bag...
1. One reusable bag can hold the same quantity as 3 to 4 filled plastic bags.
2. 12 million barrels of oil are used annually to produce plastic bags in the US alone.
3. The petroleum in 14 plastic bags could fuel an average car 1 mile.
4. The U.S. uses 100 billion bags annually.
5. It takes at least 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down in the environment.
6. It costs more to recycle a plastic bag that to produce one.
The reusable bags are 99 cents...Do your Part...!
