Dangers of Plastic Bags

Are plastic bags really all that harmful? Or is it just another scare from the tree huggers?

Let's look at the facts:

• The average US family uses 60 bags in 4 shopping trips which is 380 Billion bags (just in the US) annually.

• Plastic Bags and packaging account for the major part of the waste in our landfills.


• Plastic bags are the common man-made item found out at sea - Marine Conservation Society


• Plastic bags take 1000 years to decompose - This is why our landfills, rivers, oceans, lakes, beaches, sewers, cities, and neighborhoods are filled with them!


• There's virtually no market for recycling bags - very few recycling centers will because they have no value.


• California estimates a cost of $10,000 to recycle 1 ton of plastic bags that only yield $32 in value.


• Plastic Bags use petroleum to make them AND more petroleum to get rid of them...Millions of barrels each year!


• They are ranked the #1 Most Dangerous item around the world at sea and land.


• Over 100,000 animals a year are killed by plastic bags

Government & Corporate Responses:

• Starting with San Francisco, cities and states across the country are banning the use of plastic bags.


• Countries like China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Ireland, South Africa, India, Scotland, Australia, Belgium, Taiwan, and many others have banned or taxed plastic bags.
