• Paper, Plastic or Re-usable?

  • The average family accumulates 60 plastic bags in only four trips to the grocery store. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. (Estimated cost toretailers is $4 billion.)
  • It takes more than four times as much energy to manufacture a paper bag as it does to manufacture a plastic bag.
  • In 1999, 14 million trees were cut to produce the 10 billion paper grocery bags used by Americans that year alone.
  • Paper bag production delivers a global warming double-whammy - forests (major absorbers of greenhouse gases) have to be cut down, and then the subsequent manufacturing of bags produces greenhouse gases.
  • Paper sacks generate 70% more air and 50 times more water pollutants than plastic bags.
  • Plastic bags cause over 100,000 sea turtle and other marine animal deaths every year when animals mistake them for food.
  • In 2001, Ireland consumed 1.2 billion plastic bags, or 316 per person. An extremely successful plastic bag consumption tax, introduced in 2002 reduced consumption by 90%. Approximately 18,000,000 liters of oil have been saved due to this reduced production.
  • Current research demonstrates that paper in today's landfills does not degrade or break down at a substantially faster rate than plastic does. In fact, nothing completely degrades in modern landfills because of the lack of water, light, oxygen, and other important elements that are necessary for the degradation process to be completed.
