PLASTIC BAG MOVEMENT

HAVE EXTRA PLASTIC BAGS YOU'RE THINKING OF TRASHING?

BRING THEM ON DOWN TO THE ECO FAIR & WATCH THEM MAGICALLY TRANSFORM FROM TRASH TO ART

According to the Worldwatch Institute, Americans use more than 100 billion plastic bags each year, and 99 percent go straight to landfills. Eventually they break down into tiny toxic bits polluting our soil, river, lakes and oceans. Production requires vast amounts of oil.
Countless animals needlessly die each year.

. simplify life .

Think twice about taking a plastic bag if your purchase is small and easy to carry.

Keep canvas bags in your home, office, and car so you always have them available. Or just don't use bags at all, keep cardboard boxes in your car so you can transfer your items from the supermarket or other stores.

Ask stores to stop providing bags for free, to make re-usable bags available, or to offer a discount for not using the bags.
