The Difference One Reused Bag Can Make |
 |
 |
 |
Using reusable bags and using your plastic produce bags several times, can make a
surprising difference. In the United States, we use about 100 billion new plastic bags per
year. It takes 12 million barrels of oil to produce those bags. Sadly, only a very small
percentage of those bags are recycled. And although it would seem that using paper is
better, we cut down 14 million trees each year to create our annual supply of paper
grocery bags.

make a difference!
