Buy a reusable shopping bag! One for $5, two or more, $4 each! Email jenstahl@sas.upenn.edu.
Stop. Think.
ECOFACTS: 1. Hundreds of thousands of marine animals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food. 2. If just 25% of families in the U.S. used ten fewer plastic bags a month, we would save over 2.5 BILLION bags a year. 3. Plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photodegrade - breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food web when animals accidentally ingest. www.reusablebags.com for more information.
