All stores, especially supermarkets, in the U.S. to switch to Bio Bags

The Issue

As nice as it may be for everyone to recycle or re-use plastic bags, they don't. Which is causing harm to the environment.
The U.S. goes through 100 billion single-use plastic bags. This costs retailers about $4 billion a year.
About 1 million plastic bags are used every minute.
A single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade.
Plastic bags are the second-most common type of ocean refuse, after cigarette butts.
Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down.
Every square mile of ocean has about 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in it.

The change-up;
Bio Bags are made from cornstarch, these bags help to eliminate regular plastic bags from our environment. When disposed, Bio Bags will compost as naturally as food scraps, leaving no harmful residue. No Polyethylene is used in the production of this product.
Bio Bags bags are GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) free, certified for use in organic agriculture.

Help me ban this small problem that is impacting the environment in a large scale throughout the U.S. and most importantly the World!
