Did you know plastic grocery bags can take up to 1,000 years to degrade in landfills? And did you also know that plastic grocery bags resemble jellyfish and squid floating in the ocean and can be extremely harmful to marine animals and birds who consume these species? Marine animals and birds can choke or become entangled in plastic grocery bags causing a suffering death. China, and several other Asian and African countries have already banned the use of plastic grocery bags. Embrace the environmental benefits of reducing your use of plastic grocery bags by using reusable bags! One of the bare essentials to be green!!
Check out the reusable bags BareGreen carries.
