Tote Bags - The Eco Friendly Alternative to Plastic Bags

Production of plastic bags requires petroleum and often natural gas, both non-renewable resources that increase our dependency on foreign suppliers. Prospecting and drilling for these resources contributes to the destruction of fragile habitats and ecosystems worldwide. Toxic chemical ingredients needed to make plastic produces pollution during the manufacturing process.

Energy needed to manufacture and transport disposable bags eats up more resources and creates global warming emissions.

Each year billions of bags end up as litter blowing across our land. On land, cows, goats and other animals suffer when accidentally ingesting plastic bags while searching for food.

Eventually the bags break down into tiny toxic bits polluting our soil, river, lakes and oceans. Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals, sea turtles and whales die every year from eating discarded plastic bags they have mistaken for food. Once swallowed, plastic bags choke the animal or block their intestines, which leads to death.
