A few fun facts from Reusable Bags

  • According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually.
  • Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photodegrade—breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food web when animals accidentally ingest.
