It talks a lot about how re-usable bags are the best thing you can use for the environment.
Did you know:

Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute.

Californians throw away 294,000,000 pounds of plastic bags every year, or 147,000 tons - enough waste to circle the planet over 250 times.

Some estimate a plastic bag may take one thousand years to decompose. That means a bag thrown away during the crusades, the birth of Constantine, or at the signing of the Magna Carta would just be finishing its decomposition now.

If Californians cut their plastic bag waste in half, it would save over two thousand barrels of oil a day (over 800,000 barrels a year) and keep 73,000 tons of rubbish out of our landfills.

Only 10 to 15 percent of paper bags and 1 to 3 percent of plastic bags are recycled.

We take our bags with us each time we go shopping now. I know that it is "another thing" to remember. BUT - it is such a small thing that EVERYONE could do to make our planet a healthier place. Join me!
