• Is a Bag Necessary?

  According the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year. Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most often found in coastal clean-ups, according to the nonprofit Center for Marine Conservation. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute.
  
  According to the American Forest and paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.
  
  Plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photodegrade — breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways entering the food web when animals accidentally ingest. Use bags made from recyclable elements to minimize this impact.
