Don’t Contribute to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch!

Did you know that we humans have created an huge garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean?   If you needed a good reason to start using reusable bags well this is it.

Scientists estimate  the  garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean is upwards of twice the size of the continental United States.  The majority of the patch comes from plastics, which leak toxins into the ocean and are eaten by marine life.   The thing is, is plastic doesn’t decompose!  It just breaks down into smaller and smaller bits, polluting our environment for a very long time.

We need to stop contributing to this great landfill in the sea.  By simply cutting down on the amount of plastic used during your supermarket trip you can make an important difference for our oceans.   There are lots of reusable bag options, whether you need something for picking up a few groceries to durable bags for those big family dinners.

At ReuseThisBag.com we provide a wide range of reusable shopping bags for retailers and merchants.  Some of our favorite customers are green school and church fundraisers that “go green” by selling our custom bags imprinted with their logo.

If you are a merchant or a fundraiser looking for a fresh eco-friendly approach, contact us for a free custom bag quote.
