THE 'PLASTIC BAG' PROBLEM . . .

Worldwide, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used annually.

Although plastic bags are recyclable, less than 3% of them actually are.

An estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year worldwide.

REUSABLE COTTON BAGS TO HELP REDUCE PLASTIC BAG POLLUTION . . .

The idea of REUSABLE BAGS is self-explanatory . . . the volume of waste plastic is reduced! The common practice of buying groceries in plastic carry bags is causing a huge problem in India. Windblown plastic carry bags litter the surroundings, making fields unproductive, as rainwater percolation and seed germination are affected. Cows are seen feeding on plastic bags; sometimes get ill and even die from an accumulation of plastic film in their gut. Millions of tons of plastic waste are choking our environment. THIS MUST STOP NOW!

By using cloth bags (cotton/jute) instead of plastic, we can make a positive impact on the environment. Jute and cotton bags are ideal for the environment given their degradability, durability and eco-friendly nature The solution to this hazardous problem is using bags which can be ‘Reused’ more than just once. Since the fabric used to manufacture reusable bags are mainly jute and cotton, the bags can be used for a longer duration.

IMPORTANCE OF REUSABLE BAGS!
There are vested interests and lobbies that are concerned with the loss of revenue from plastics if we stop using their bags. These people argue that REUSABLE BAGS made from cotton or jute requires ‘more energy to manufacture’ they claim, one cloth bag requires as much energy as the equivalent of 28 plastic bags. This is TRUE … but it does have a considerably longer lifespan! If you “RE-USE” as many times as possible, maybe be even a thousand times, the argument becomes pointless; and then above all it is easily degradable and unlikely to cause as much damage as plastics!
