Why Use a Reusable Bag:
There
are countless reasons why you as an every day American should start to
use a reusable bag. We have studied article after article, paper after
paper, and blog after blog. Other than the fact that Avenue You Beauty Store & AveYou.com has the sharpest reusable bags
around, you are now on the cutting edge of a unique Grassroots movement
that is sweeping the nation! It is our belief that within five years
over 90% of the country will be using a reusable grocery bag! Its time
to wake up and smell the coffee we say!
Here are a few of our favorite facts in regards to why we are urging you to make the very important choice to put down your paper and plastic and protect your Earth today! It isn’t too late. In fact, we are just getting started!
- A Plastic bag takes 450 years to biodegrade. Imagine 10 billion of them!
- The production of Paper bags causes 70% more pollution than Plastic.
- When
Plastic “photo degrades” it ends up in our oceans. Incidentally, it
appears much like a plankton, and is then consumed by fish. Fish eat
it, and it winds up on your dinner table. YUCK!!!
- The recipe for making paper bags starts with 1 part pulp, 400 parts WATER. What a waste of water!
- The recycling of plastic emits heavy metals into the air causing extreme air pollution
- An average person will use over 350 bags in a single year!
- In New York City, one less grocery bag per person would reduce waste by five million pounds and save $250,000 in disposal costs!
- In 1999 more than 14 million trees were cut down to produce 10 billion paper bags that were used by Americans that year!
The facts are staggering and we could go on and on as to why it is so
imperative that you stop using paper and plastic now.
