Why to Stop Using Plastic Bags?

You know that it can take up to 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down and that all over the world we throw away over 100 billions of them each year? There needs to be a better awareness and the use of plastic bags has to stop. Since we can't get the retailers to stop giving them out right now until laws are passed, it must be a personal commitment and each one of us has to play a role.



The first thing to understand is that plastic bags are not biodegradable because they are polyethylene-based. They end up in our oceans, roadways and on top of trees. Even after the 1,000 years it takes for them to break down, there are still tiny pieces of them continuing to harm the environment by polluting soil and getting into our waterways. They are not only harmful to us, but to wildlife who mistaken them for food. For example, when plastic is ingested into a cow, turtle or a bird, it can not break down, making for a slow and very painful death. Other than convenience, there is just nothing good about using plastic bags.

You have probably noticed that peoples often use plastic bags to clean up the waste(shit) of there babys, dogs, etc., but this only makes matters worse. Waste, which is otherwise compostable,is now closed up in a bag without air and can not break down which causes tremendous odor. The waste almost mummifies rather than decomposing naturally. Think about how many millions of plastic bags filled with waste and bacterial build are sitting in our landfills across the world right now. It must stop. In addition, the use of plastic bags in our kitchen trash cans and the ones that we use to clean up our yards are just as bad.

The good news is there is now another option, biodegradable bags that fit all of these needs. After intense research and efforts, there are trash bags that are now 100% biodegradable and certified compostable. These bags are convenient and can decompose in 12-45 days, rather than hundreds of years, when placed in a composting environment.

Only you can make the difference in your home and in your community. Now that you are educated on why we should stop using plastic bags, spread the word and play that important role to help save our environment.
