Plastic bags are a major source of pollution within our environment. They take around 1,000 years to break down and they omit toxic chemicls during this process. They also keep the items inside the bag from breaking down as fast as they should. They are used by mostly every household because they are cheap and available in every store. I recommend bringing your own cloth bag to the food store and other stores for your items. At times I will use paper bags (which only take a month to break down), but they are the result of trees that were cut down so they are not such a good idea either. Please make a difference and bring your own re-usable cloth bag to the store when you go shopping!! You will feel like you have made a big difference when you make the change.

I agree. i always bring my own bags.

I love the site GreenDimes, they will end your junk mail, plant trees and send you reusuable bags, all for $20.

I bring cloth bags (I need more) when I go shopping. Some places will give you money back (like 5 cents a bag) and if you shop at co-ops you can have the money go to your grocery trip or back towards the community. I think it's great.
