Do you ask for a plastic bag 
when you go shopping?
Each year, an estimated 
1 trillion plastic bags are
 consumed worldwide. 
That comes out to over
1 MILLION per minute
The biggest problem with 
plastic bags is that it takes t
hem 20 to 1000 years to 
decompose
Only 1 percent of plastic 
bags are recycled. Up to 80 
percent of ocean plastic pollution
 enters the ocean from land.
Did you know that the
world's largest collection
of ocean garbage is three 
times the size of France?
Microplastic contamination 
has been found in tap water
in countries all around the world.
Congratulations! With this 
decision you helped to protect 
our environment and marine life
What should I use instead?
1) Reusable Tote Bags 
2) Reusable Produce Bags
3) Reusable Storage Bags
Think of the future of your 
descendants. Do you really 
want to offer them a future 
on a pile of rubbish?
