Have you heard the craze going on about bringing your own bags (preferably canvas) to the grocery store to stop plastic bag waste? Well, let me break down the importance of B.Y.O.B (BRING YOUR OWN BAG!)
Green Tip: BAG THE BAGS
Plastic bags start as petrochemicals, which are transformed into polymers and are, in turn heated, shaped, cooled, flattened, sealed, punched, and printed on, all of which require energy (1001 Little Ways to Save the Planet)
Still, only 0.6% of plastic bags are recycled, with the USA alone throwing away 100 billion bags a year!
So before you consider "Paper or Plastic", try to bring your own canvas bag which now you can get anywhere for $1!
If you still cant pick up that trend, try recycling or reusing your plastic bags.
When it comes to the planet you have it in the BAG, STAY GREEN YO!
