As ever the aim of our campaign is encourage citizens to conserve resources and protect the planet by avoiding the use of plastic bags and encouraging the reuse and recycling of plastic bags.
Why Is the Habit So Bad?
While they seem harmless, plastic bags actually cause a lot of damage. According to the research over 90% of all the garbage floating around in the ocean is plastic leading to the deaths of one million marine animals each year. More than 500 billion plastic bags are produced each year and the United States is responsible for one fifth of them.
Why pay such high cost? Reusable bags are a cheap alternative to such an expensive habit. Many
environmentally conscious stores have reusable bags that their customers can purchase and that is GREAT! But being eco-friendly does not have to cost anything; that’s why we have this campaign to "shake the Habit” by encouraging people to make their own bags.
