Give a gift to our planet by using reusable shopping bags
BYOB means bring your own shopping bag! As we begin the year new, 2010, it's crazy the amount of purchases that historically do here in America and around the world and trends are increasing. Whether frequent trips to the store Stores that keep our kitchen is stocked with wonderful meals and delicious snacks or sometimes feared, but working "6 bags in each arm" walks filled the mall premises, all adds up to much unnecessary waste. One of the most flagrant examples of this waste is disposable shopping bags.
An estimated 100 billion plastic shopping bags are consumed each year in the U.S., according to the Wall-Street Journal. Most plastic bags end up in landfills and the rest often end up in rivers, ponds, lakes, streams or the ocean, where animals can ingest or become entangled in them. Household waste including shopping bags, increases by more than 25% on average in November and December. Considering how many grocery bags are consumed and lost in this time of year, now is the time to spread the word about the benefits of organic reusable shopping bags to influence our families, friends and communities.
Adoption BYOB a strategy in our individual buying habits is an easy way to do just that. If we can raise awareness at this time, the positive impact the environment is invaluable to the year 2010 and in the future. Some cities have already made a gradual but significant progress in promoting the use of non-organic tissue reusable grocery bags in recent years. Motivate consumers to ban plastic and paper bag, discounts on registration for the use of reusable bags and motivations are certain to talk tax of.
Here in the United States, San Jose City Council recently approved a more stringent in the nation to ban plastic bags and paper. This is a great victory for the Bay Area, which has a million plastic bags a year are accumulated in and along the Bay of San Francisco. San Joseph becomes the latest Bay Area city to enact some kind of ban on disposable bags and others like San Francisco and Palo Alto. Tracy Seipel of San Jose Mercury News reported that it was actually a man that really jump started the ban, another great example of the power of a person. Here is an extract:
During his visit to his sister in law in Taipei, Kansen Chu was elected to the board the city of San José in 2007, went shopping and was shocked to charge for bags plastic. The next day, she brought her own canvas bags to the store. "I think the question," Chu said, "was, why not San Jose? "He started a conversation with the environmental staff of the city of services, which later moved to discussion of board committees.
Save Fourth Annual Report of the Bay in most littered sites in the region demonstrates the need to bring their own bags. The environmental advocacy group of 50 years, focused on 10 specific sites in the bay area, where nearly 15,000 plastic bags were recovered in a single day last year in report. Here is an excerpt from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle's Kelly Zito.
According to (Save the Bay) research, Californians use about 19 billion plastic bags each year, 3.8 million in the Bay Area. The average usage time of the bags – made about 12 million barrels of oil each year in the U.S. – is about 12 minutes. In addition to hundreds of years can be given through a plastic bag to decompose in landfills, the bags also force downtime when feeding in traditional recycling equipment. Typically, the bags to get the wound on conveyor belts or gears and be cut by hand.
Ten U.S. cities have banned plastic bags so far, five in the last year. Even Mexico City enacted a ban on plastic bags, which came into force in August. The city of 20 million is now facing the reality of enforcement, it is not easy when the Mexico City Chamber of Commerce estimates that 35 000 vendors in the downtown area of Mexico City alone.
Ban plastic bags are not the only effective way to reduce harmful waste caused by disposable bags. PlasTax, consumers in the registration tax for using plastic bags when shopping, is first introduced by the Irish. John Roach for National Geographic reported last year on the worldwide momentum has been building Ireland established a PlasTax in 2003. The Irish showed they could reduce plastic bag consumption by 90% or more. The momentum is growing worldwide, especially in the United States. From Washington, DC, Edmonds, Washington to the North Pole, Alaska, communities and governments are pushing an international trend to reduce the harmful environmental effects of disposable shopping bags. Even large retail stores like Target and CVS are being taken for the enactment of discounts registry for customers who choose to BYOB or simply carry out their tasks without a bag.
For the pessimists, it is convenient to ignore the recent push reducing waste disposal bags. But for some, the widespread adoption of reusable bags is environmentally friendly inevitable. See how smoking is becoming taboo in U.S.. banning smoking indoors have caught on like wildfire. In the same way, that is, the use of disposable bags does not become a taboo at some point in the near future? The use of green bags reusable grocery environment is certainly gaining momentum. Our options individual to bring our reusable bags when shopping you can go much further than we think. That's what it is BYOB, establishing an active example of others to establish a trend that will help our planet, it is valuable finite resources and secure their animal habitats.
Of course, plastic bags paper should be recycled and it is important to remember the largest retailers, including Albertsons and Wal-Mart to recycle plastic bags for you. That said, a strategy BYOB music can make your life much easier because there is no need to build that closet full of plastic bags or to find out what and when to do something regard. Keep a few title = show "> reusable bags stock exchange" in your car or backpack is a good way to ensure that they have when necessary. So back to our planet, reminding BYOB! Whether in a convenience store, the mall, or shopping, we can make a difference environment and help raise awareness of a transaction at a time. Through the struggle to eliminate disposable waste basket, we are giving a gift to our planet, the best gift of all sustainability and reuse.
