Share and Voice: Super One Foods

THANKS SUPER ONE FOODS!!!

Thank you Dr. V and Super one foods for giving us the reusable grocery bags! I am so excited to go and use mine. I dont have to decided on "paper or plastic" now:) Also thanks to Heather and Shar for their brillant idea for the thank you card!! Here are a couple interesting facts I found out about plastic bags and how we are going to help out the environment by using our eco-friendly grocery bags.

• Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year.
  



• According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year.
  



• According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. (Estimated cost to retailers is $4 billion)



• 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
