Reduce Use Of Grocery Bags.
Next time you go shopping at the supermarket, think twice before packing your purchases in one of their plastic bags.
Did you know it takes one 15- to 20-year-old tree to make enough paper for only 700 grocery bags? Try to take a reuseable bag (preferably a cloth bag) with you when you shop, and if you forget, put your purchases in as few bags as possible.
Paper or Plastic? Plastic bags are more convenient than paper but they're not biodegradeable.
Plastic bags often wind up in the ocean and kill marine animals that get tangled up in them or swallow them.
Paper bags are biodegradeable but are often made from virgin paper because, manufacturers say, heavy loads require the long fibres in virgin pulp.
