Why do we need to stop using plastic bags? Some top reasons:
1. They are made from petroleum, which means they biodegrade in the reasonable timeframe of NEVER.
2. They get mixed in with other recyclables at the plant and slow down processing times, costing everyone a lot of money.
3. They end up in the oceans, beaches, and everywhere, killing adorable animals.
We use ours for pickin up dog poo so I hate getting dirty looks at Superstore for getting plastic bags...if there were a better way to avoid that lovely task we'd switch, but I'm totally not recycling pooper scoopers :)
Thanks for posting this reminder. Although the major chain in my area has a despository for their used bags, recycling them still comsumes a lot of resources and is of little improvement environmentally. I'm still reusing some as gargabe liners.
