Here’s another way you can make a difference to the environment: BYOB – Bring Your Own Bag. That’s right. Every time you go out shopping with your parents, remind them to bring their own reusable bags. The average family of four uses 1000 plastic bags every year, and 100 million of these plastic bags go to landfills EVERY WEEK. Plastic bags like the ones you get at the grocery store can take between 15 and 1000 years to break down in the environment. Furthermore, plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photodegrade. This means that instead of decomposing naturally, plastic bags just break down into smaller pieces and can still contaminate water and soil. So, say “NO!” to plastic bags and remember to BYOB.
