Most people who used to or still use plastic bags throw them in the garbage when they are finished and have no use for them anymore. That is not a good thing because in a while, the bags end up in a landfill where they sit for tons of years because they can't decompose, which means that plastic bags can't fall a part or get old like a apple core would, for example. But now, thankfully, we have reusable cloth bags in the grocery stores that you can buy for $1. The great thing is, once you buy a cloth bag, you can use it over and over again, which means non wasteful and better for the environment!
If your parents or family still use plastic bags, tell them about the cloth bags that you can now buy, and how much better they are for the environment! I think that they will be happy to reuse and not have to worry about any plastic bags ending up in a landfill somewhere!

Thanks so much for writing about this subjuct.
ReplyDeleteIt takes so little effort to bring a cloth bag to the grocery store and it saves so much plastic. Not only do plastic bags end up in the land fill if they arn't recycled, but they use a lot of energy and petolium products to produce. There's nothing worse than seeing a plastic bag stuck in a tree and knowing that it will be there for years.
