Do you ever get frustrated when you’re shopping at the grocery store, clothing store, hardware store, or any store for that matter and the clerk asks the person in front of you, “May we bag your order in plastic? and they answer yes. Am I the only one who wants to yell, no please don’t choose plastic, those bags are polluting the earth. Do you ever speak up and tell them how much their choice is harming the world or do you stand their quietly and say nothing?

Let me share some very important facts with you; every year, Americans use approximately 102.1 billion plastic bags, creating tons and tons of landfill waste. This number breaks down to the average American family using almost 1,500 plastic shopping bags a year. And worst of all less than 5% of these bags are recycled.
