One Bag At A Time

A few weeks ago I posted about my awesome reusable bag:)  I found this amazing website One Bag At A Time that has statistics, facts, and pictures that depicts the importance of helping out a little.  I thought I would share a few of the facts.  The Problem:  14 plastic bags contain enough petroleum to drive your care one mile, 380 billion plastic bags and sacs are thrown away in America each year.      The Solution: use a reusable bag twice a week for 2 years and each bag will save enough petroleum to drive a car 60 miles, and you will save 832 plastic bags from going into a landfill.  Those are just a few things I learned from the site but I suggest looking at it yourself...it is pretty cool!

I thought I would share a picture of the just the top of my mountain of plastic bags in my pantry area. 

I have found some local grocery stores that are now recycling plastic bags and other things!!!!  So if you are like me and want to do a little bit to help the environment this is a great and easy way to start.  I am going to take a few bags in at a time when I do my grocery shopping and hopefully in a few months I won't have the mountain of plastic anymore:)
