Did you know that plastic bags are made from oil? I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t know that about 2 months ago.Most plastic bags aren’t biodegradable, and clog up everything from drains to cows stomachs in India who roam free and eat it thinking its food! One cow was saved after having 100Ibs of plastic removed from its stomach!! This is just one area of damage, not to mention the huge amounts of it in our landfills and oceans, hurting even more of our precious animals.
What can we do?Start by getting educated:
The Battle of the Bag
You can also start buying products that come in recycled or recyclable packaging and make sure they make it to the recycling centre.
Also start using reusable plastic bags when shopping, or better yet buy yourself some fabric shopping bags and take them with you every time you go.
If you don’t have you fabric bags with you re-use the bag you get as a garbage bag instead of paying into even more plastic by purchasing actual garbage bags.
