Why should we kick our bag habit?

• Plastic bags are the most common form of litter in the ocean. Hundreds of thousands of whales, dolphins, sea turtles and other marine animals fatally mistake them for food.
• Plastic bags in landfill can take more than a thousand years to degrade, eventually resulting in toxic chemicals entering food chains.
• The bags are made from non-renewable petrochemicals derived from millions of gallons of oil.
