The Planet Bag
The best answer to the question "Paper or Plastic?" is No, thank you. One of the best and easiest ways to save the planet is to bring your own reusable shopping bags to any store. Many grocery stores are now offering credits for each reusable bag you use in the store. The credits range from 2 to 10 cents depending on where you live. That's like an instant coupon that you don't have to clip!!!!
The positive impact on skipping plastic shopping bags is huge! As many as 30 BILLION plastic shopping bags end up as litter each year. They make their way into our oceans, killing birds, and ocean creatures by the millions.
Paper bags can be worse than plastic. Even though Americans recycle 20% of paper bags, it takes more energy to make one paper bag, and creates more waste than two plastic bags.
