READ TILL THE BOTTOM TO FIND OUT & 4 BENEFITS TO USING REUSABLE BAGS!
Benefits Of Using Reusable Bags:
Benefits According to TernGoods.com
1. Save Money : Many places charge for using their bags and can add up maybe not on your first trip but definitely add up every week, month. Think about it: If you take home 5 grocery bags worth of food a week, that comes out to 260 bags a year. Bringing your own bag can keep that money in your pocket while also helping the environment. – tern goods.com
2. Positive Environmental Impact: Plastic bags are non-biodegradable, use crude oil and natural gas to manufacture, and require even more fossil fuels to ship.By using a reusable bag, you are not only reducing the amount of non-renewable resources necessary to produce plastic bags, but you’re also reducing the amount of money your community spends on clean up costs each year.- terngoods.com
3. Durability and Reliability. How many times have you been taking the groceries from the car to your home and a bag breaks! This has happened to me more times than I would like to admit!
4. Peace of Mind: Plastic bags are one of the top ten most common objects found in oceans and on beaches. An estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used each year, and they’re ending up in oceans, soils, animals, and rivers. -terngoods.comv
Answer: “We currently use 500 billion bags annually, worldwide. That’s 150 plastic bags per person, per year. If you connected all of those bags from end to end, it would circumnavigate the world 4,200 times. Needless to say, an eco-friendly bag would significantly reduce this number.” – terngoods”
