Every year, Americans alone throw away some 100 billion plastic bags. How many worldwide? The energy needed to manufacture and transport disposable bags eats up more resources and creates global warming emissions. The production of plastic bags requires petroleum and often natural gas, both non-renewable resources that increase our dependency on foreign suppliers. prospecting and drilling for these resources contributes to the destruction of fragile habitats and ecosystems around the world!Jul 14th, 2010Someone from North Miami Beach, FL writes:
Plastic bags DO NOT biodegrade, they photo-degrade (breaking into smaller and smaller pieces); a process that takes up to 1000 years. Hundreds of thousands of Sea Turtles, Whales and Marine Mammals die every year from ingesting plastic bags which contain poisonous toxins. Less than 5% of plastic bags are recycled; in fact it is more expensive to recycle plastic bags than to produce new ones. We must ban the use of harmful plastic bags, especially as there are simple ready alternatives such as reusable bags. This convenience is contaminating the oceans, the life force of this planet. This is a simple change which will have dramatically positive results for our planet.REPORT COMMENTS
