tote bags

Tote bags let you tote around everything. An umbrella, a book, your wallet, your shopping. I like tote bags because you can dump in everything you need and still have room for new purchases. With the dangers plastic bags pose to the environment, bringing your own tote bag to carry your purchases rather than taking more plastic bags to hold your new buys is the way to go.

Does that sound extreme?

After all, plastic bags are among modern day conveniences that make life a lot easier for all of us. That bit of convenience kills at least 100,000 birds, whales, seals and turtles every year. Animals mistake plastic bags for food and die as a result of eating these plastic bags. Then the dead animal decomposes but the plastic bag, which takes centuries to decompose is left intact, littering the landscape and potentially killing other anumals. This Plastic bags report by the environment protection and heritage council sums up why we should train ourselves to use less of these bags for the sake of our planet.

When we shop, our purchases are put into these single use plastic bags for us to take home. If we bring along our totes to carry our purchase and reject those bags, that is one plastic bag less that will be introduced into the environment.

Yes, that plastic bag has already been made, but by not using these bags, the demand for these bags will decrease and fewer plastic bags will be produced. Imagine if more and more people use totes for their shopping, how much better off the environment may be.
