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.

    Paper doesn't decompsoe as easy as people think. What happens is their is not enough air to keeo the microbes alive that decompose it.

    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.

    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.

    that is a great idea. Paper will decompose but plastic does not.

    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.

    I know this is a good start but it's too small. What's inside all the bags we bring home from the market? Single-use packaging!  There needs to be a comprehensive change in the delivery system of goods...more options to refill containers at the market and then we could actually make a difference.
