PLASTIC BAGS KILL 100s of 1000s of BIRDS EACH YEAR IN THE U.S. ALONE.
PAPER KILLS TREES UNNECESSARILY AND USE RESOURCES TO CREATE.
IT'S SOOOO EASY TO CARRY YOUR OWN BAGS. PLEASE, PLEASE DO.
Say No to Paper or Plastic

You don't have to wait till grocery bags are banned: Say no to plastic or paper
ones now. Instead, bring your own reusable shopping bags. Consider an entire set
of reusable, double-handled hemp bags that work great for a large order, and
reusable organic cotton mesh bags for your fruits and vegetables.
For trips to the mall, opt for one of the new, eco-chic bags from sources such
as Reusablebags. These funky, graphically inspired totes and messenger bags are
crafted from unlikely materials such as rice and sewn by hand in small batches
in Cambodia. EcoBags, another source, carries totes made from recycled cotton,
as well as a recycled cotton lunch sack to replace the brown bag or Ziploc.
Or better yet, buy a FEED bag and support a project started by Lauren Bush, an
honorary spokesperson for the UN World Food Program. Proceeds from the sale go
to feed a child for a school year. The goal: Reduce the billions of plastic and
paper bags headed for a landfill near you with a smarter answer.
