You might have seen pictures of plastic bags on your home feed these couple of days. In case you had no idea what they were for, we are writing this article to inform you as much as possible concerning this topic:

  • The 3rd of July is the International Bag Free Day. It aims to reduce, and even END the use of plastic bags, in order to exchange them with bags that could be re-used several times, without being thrown away.

 

  • Plastic bags take hundreds of years to degrade, and not only do they pollute the environment, they also severely harm living organisms.

 

 

  • One million plastic bags are used around the world per minute

Why would you stop using plastic bags?

  • 80% of marine litter is plastic, and this harms the marine organisms, which humans consume, hence, plastic bags get into the food chain, leading to us getting harmed as well.

 

  • Future generations will suffer from the pollution caused by plastic bags, without getting any of the benefits.

 

What can we exchange plastic bags by?

We can exchange plastic bags by re-usable shopping bags, that are not harmful to the environment at all. Some of those bags are fashionable at the same time, so you will enjoy carrying them.
