from PLASTIC entanglement! The problem
Plastic bags are:
Made from petroleum, a nonrenewable resource.
A serious litter problem since they are lightweight and hard to contain (blow around).
Non-biodegradable, breaking into smaller particles BUT never fully disappearing.
Mistaken for food by marine animals (particularly sea turtles).
One of the most numerous items of litter along with cigarette butts and Styrofoam.
A major part of waste in our landfills.
"I'm the problem, I'm the solution"
The solution
Bring your own cloth bag.
Ask for paper bag (holds 5 to 6 times more than a plastic bag).
Ask your merchant to promote cloth bags (charge for plastic or provide incentives for cloth).
Encourage development of bags made from natural products such as cornstarch and soy.
Write your elected officials regarding the hazards of plastic bags.
Participate in a community/beach cleanup.
