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.

Bringing your own bag is now the trendy way

Manhattan Beach resident Doug Lober began selling Chinese-made reusable shopping bags through his Internet site ReuseThisBag.com 

Reusable bags have become trendy, with companies and groups handing them out for free at festivals and other events to promote themselves.

The popularity of reusable bags has created a niche industry of suppliers.

“This was supposed to be an environmentally fun thing I would run that would be two hours a day, and it’s scaled to a 10-hour-a-day monster,” said Lober, whose office is in Redondo Beach. “I barely have a minute to breathe, man. I couldn’t handle it, so I hired a sales guy.”

New York Cracksdown on Plastic Bags- Going ‘Reusable’

Slowly but surely more states are showing their ‘green underbelly’ this year and more are sure to follow. After all, not only is our environmet in peril, it trendy and feels good. New York City may follow this international trend and crack down on plastic shopping bags, seeking to cut their use with a plan officials hope will be a model for other cities.  Proposal introduced on Monday requires stores larger than 5,000 square feet to set up an in-store recycling program and sell reusable bags.

Some 700 food stores plus large retailers such as Target and Home Depot would have to collect used bags and provide a system for turning them over to a manufacturer or to third-party recycling firms.

Stores would be required to use bags printed with a reminder to consumers: “Please return this bag to a participating store for recycling.”

Environmentalists have targeted plastic bags as a scourge that take years to biodegrade and contaminate soil and water.
