OK, link and ye shall be linked. A cool site called Reuse This Bag picked up my recent post on breaking the plastic bag habit, so I’m returning the favor here. The site has lots of good resources including this list of 25 Reasons to Go Reusable. Some of these statistics are really shockers. For instance, did you know that the United States uses 12 million barrels of oil a year just to make plastic bags?
So we’re paying ever more money, often to hostile regimes who loathe us, for a vanishing, polluting substance–and using it to make millions of plastic bags that we then throw “away.” I think we’re smarter than that.
