Did you know:
- The average American uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year.
- Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into small toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food-chain when mistaken for zooplankton or jellyfish.
- If the population of the Des Moines metro area (500,000) all stopped using plastic bags, it would save 70,000 barrels of oil a year!
- According to the American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.
