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.

100% Cotton Canvas Grocery/Multipurpose Tote Bag


If you are looking for Ecobags please make sure the items that you are going to buy is the right one. There is one new 100% cotton grocery or multipurpose tote bags available now. Size available is 7.5 inch flat bottom. The price are cheap plus free shipping to your doorstep. I have one of this for myself at home. I normally use it whenever I going to do some shopping to the nearby store. Because it is made 100% from cotton, you can actually fold it and put it in your pocket.

I just bought it last week and I still don't know how long more I can use it. Anyway if this can last for several months I consider it very good already since the price is cheap. May be I just buy several pieces for everyone in my house next time.

What costumer says about this product?

Replacing The Golden Gate Bridge With Plastic Gate Bridge

I got an idea. Since it is so hard to educate people to stop using plastic bags we might be as well should replace the scenic Golden Gate Bride with Plastic Gate Bridge. Hey, I am not kidding. I am telling you a damn clear facts and truth. US has enough supply of plastic bags to replace the mighty San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge with plastic bags bridge. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. If you think 100 billion of plastic bags is not a problem then I would like to suggest to you to go to the Golden Gate Bridge and jump down off the bridge. We do not need people like you so ignorant and hard headed. Let see if the sea water down there can end your life or not. Seriously I am so damn mad every time I see people dumping plastic bags around like this earth is belong to him or her alone.




One other thing is probably we should decorate the mighty bridge with plastic wastes. We collect all the plastic bags and hang them on the bridge. This will probably can become an eye opener to the government to enforce a total ban on the use of plastic bags. Enough is enough!

Happy EARTH DAY!!

Wow.. so it is April, 22 today. I nearly forgot that today we are celebrating EARTH DAY (ED). Actually every year I never fail to join the environmental group in my area to celebrate ED but I am sad as I was too busy and wasn't able to join them. They have a tree planting session this morning near the beach. After the tree planting there will be another activity which is to clean the beach and some children environmental drawing competition.


So because I didn't able to join their activity to celebrate the ED I will take this opportunity to talk about ED in my blog so that many people will read it worldwide to reach more people to love our environment.

Some brief history about ED.

Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide.


Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect, interact, and have an impact on their communities, and create positive change in local, national, and global policies. EDN's international network reaches over 17,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program engages 5,000 groups and over 25,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in our campaigns every year.


ED mission is to grow and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet. There are many program devised to pursue ED mission through education, politics, events, and consumer activism.


So as a good citizen of the world what we can do to day to support the ED is to play our individual roles. Started from today you should stop using plastic bag. Happy EARTH DAY !!
