Four to five trillion plastic bags are used annually around the world. After we use these bags, where do you think they go?
Although, the average plastic bag weighs less than 2 grams, the impact of these bags co-existing in our environment can be huge.
San Francisco banned plastic bags from large grocery stores, London and Paris then followed suit. Now cities (and countries) from all over the world are considering similar legislation.
But we don't have to wait for that, next time you go to the store, try using a reusable bag, it might make you feel good.

LOL please, don't blame this problem on the immigrants. I find it funny that people need to be told to re-use their grocery bags because my immigrant family has been doing that for the entire 25 years they've been in this country. Immigrants probably leave much smaller carbon footprints than native-born Americans because they didn't grow up in a culture of consumption and are used to preserving everything they have.
It may be small, but it is a step in a good direction. The FDA has a lot to do with individual packaging- hygiene for one. One small step by every individual is better than none. Changes and improvements do not happen overnight.

This is the second war in Iraq. Don't forget the Gulf. I just find it amazing, though, how this bandwagon effect works. Did anyone care about the effects of plastic bags ten years ago? Hardly. We've shifted focus from what really matters in maintaining our lives in the short term. It just seems that our priorities are far too messed up.

The very BEST method is using those canvas bags. You get thousands of uses out of one of those bags versus one use or even two or three with paper.
Paper also uses more enegry, trees, and creates more waste than they benefit actually. Making them nearly as bad as plastic to use.
For trash we need enegry plants that burn it as fuel using plasma.
you go man! tumbs up for you! this video will help tons of people!!!
