Let's move on to Reusable Bag

The Issue

LET’S MOVE ON TO REUSABLE BAG RIGHT NOW!

Reusable shopping bags made from renewable materials conserve resources by replacing paper and plastic bags. Reusable bags are convenient and come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials. When not in use, some reusable bags can be rolled or folded small enough to fit easily into a pocket. But make sure you wash them regularly.

The plain truth is that our use of plastic bags is more than excessive (especially in the United States) and is taking a serious damage on the planet. So, rather than preach to you, my dear readers who just want to get to the point and get your own reusable bag, I’m going to hit you with some hard facts about single-use plastic bags. Firstly, The Centers for Biological Diversity reports that harm to at least 267 different species has been attributed to plastic pollution in the oceans. Secondly, Plastic bags alone kill up to 100,000 marine animals every year. One species that is especially hard-hit is the leatherback sea turtle, which often confuses plastic bags for the jellyfish they like to eat. 1 of every 3 leatherbacks is found with plastic in its stomach, according to the Centers for Biological Diversity.

Rather than collecting an abundance of single use plastic bags that are not only inconvenient, but harmful to the environment and costly, try using a reusable shopping bag. There are plenty of benefits to investing a reusable bag. Some of the most advantageous benefits to using a reusable shopping bag is Multiple Uses. The great thing about reusable shopping bags is that you can use them for a lot more than just carrying your shopping home from the store. For examples, Reusable bags are great for the beach or for a picnic as you can wipe them clean if you spill any liquids or foods inside. They’re also sturdy and reliable enough to use for transporting awkward-shaped items when you move house. Likewise, many totes and shoppers are so stylish that they’re ideal for using as a purse or diaper bag, and they can also be good for carrying your gym gear around.
