5 reasons to use Reusable Bags
Plastic bags make up over 10% of washed-up
debris polluting the US coastline
In the US alone approximately 100 billion new plastic bags
are used per year – The average person will use between
350 – 500 new bags per year.
13. Facilities Green Team – Impact on the
Environment
Light exposure dissolves the toxic polymer particles.
Most often this happens when they are in the ocean.
An estimated 1 mil birds and 100,000 turtles and other sea
animals die of starvation each year after ingesting discarded
plastic bags which block their digestive tracks.
