Stop the selling of plastic paper bags in Supermarkets
- Target: All
- Sponsored by: Laura M.
How do we help? We can not simply making garbage go away, but we can reduce the amount we make. Yes, even though you do not physically manufacture the synthetic packaging, you drive its manufaction. How? Demand.
A simple way to reduce this demand is to stop the selling of plastic bags in Supermarkets. We, unknowingly purchase 380 billion plastic bags per year, and only 5,2% of them are recycled. The rest remain in landfills for up to 1,000 years. (US Survey)
The first step to helping our enviroment? Becoming aware and spreading awareness.
