The fact is: using plastic OR paper bags is unnecessary. Most people have bags at home, and they don't bring them. Plastic NEVER biodegrades. It photodegrades. That means exposure to the sun and light makes it hard and it cracks into smaller and smaller pieces.
Those pieces are ingested by animals; and because the plastic pieces are smaller it's going down the food chain. It is not digestible, and can clog animals systems and kill them.
The chemicals in these plastics have been shown to be endocrine disruptors. WE are getting these chemicals (phthlates) into OUR bodies as well. Ever wonder why people are fatter than ever? It may have something to do with the ubiquitous use of plastics. Try do go through a day without touching plastic. You couldn't do it!
If you want a place to buy organic fairtrade cotton, or hemp reusable bags, many made in the US, check out: SustainableBags.NET. You can also get bioplastic garbage bags, and don't forget dog poop bags - instead of making dog poop mummie turds!
It takes such little effort, and makes such a difference to bring your own bag. Do it for your mother (mother earth!) -
