Top Facts About Plastic Bags

Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year. According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. Estimated cost to retailers is $4 billion. Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, whales and other marine mammals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food. In 2001, Ireland consumed 1.2 billion plastic bags, or 316 per person. An extremely successful plastic bag consumption tax, or PlasTax, introduced in 2002 reduced consumption by 90%. Approximately 18,000,000 liters of oil have been saved due to this reduced production. Governments around the world are considering implementing similar measures.

3 Insulated Aqua Color Tote Bags.

"Love, love, love these bags! The construction is impeccable - extra sturdy stitching at handles, rigid bottoms in cloth bags, and the insulated totes REALLY keep things cold - especially if the grocery is not the last trip on your list - the Velcro closings insure that cold stays in and heat stays out (or vice versa). An added plus is how much these babies hold - at least twice the amount of the grocery plastic bags"... S.Thompson (USA)
