Single-use plastic bags are used for mere minutes but take centuries to degrade, adding to landfills and ocean plastic pollution. Bring your own reusable bag to reduce waste and set a positive example for others to follow.
Description
We go shopping for groceries at some point. Instead of buying or taking a single-use plastic bag when you go shopping simply bring your own!
Plastic bags are used for an average of 12 minutes before ending up in the trash and then it takes hundreds of years to degrade in a landfill.
Using your own bag reduces the demand for polluting oil, which is the main ingredient in plastic. And you will know that the bag will not end up in a landfill or the ocean releasing microplastic after just one use. Plus, when others see you in the store using reusable bags, it helps to slowly change the norm.
