Tote Bags
Hardly a day passes by without one or the other newspaper warning us about the dangers of global warming and the changes in the climate brought about by it. It is not just the ordinary people, but even animals and plants are being affected by the same. It is high time that we did something within our means to halt this movement towards doomsday. We can contribute in a big way to halt global warming by not using plastic shopping bags for our day to day shopping.
This omnipresent plastic bag has a huge impact on the environment and switching over to eco friendly tote bags can have a great beneficial effect on fossil fuels usage and greenhouse gas emissions. A couple of decades ago only paper and cloth bags were used for shopping. All this changed during the 80s with the introduction of the disposable plastic bags. Ever since, a huge number of plastic bags are being used all over the world. The sad fact is that few users of such bags know about the dangers they pose to the environment. Plastic bags that are thrown away with household trash are recycled (though it is not easy to do so) and new plastic bags and other items are made out of the same.

"Seeing the amount of wastage produced from unnecessary packaging and the volume of plastic bags that are given away at the point of sale, inspired me to come up with an eco-friendly solution for businesses that works. It is our mission to change the nation's habit for using plastic bags, which harm the environment with re-usable, cloth bags." --Company Director, Julia Gash

The danger in using plastic bags lies in the fact that they photodegrade and do not biodegrade. The term photodegrade means that these plastic bags do not decompose. Instead they break up into smaller toxic particles that contaminate soil and waterways and also enter the food cycle when they are accidentally eaten by animals. It is estimated that more than twelve million barrels of oil are used per year for producing plastic bags for USA alone. In an era where the fossil fuels of the world are depleting at an alarming rate is it necessary to waste them to produce plastic bags?
Apart from this the manufacture of plastic gas adds considerably to the world's man made greenhouse gas emissions. It is easier to recycle paper bags than to recycle plastic bags. By a rough estimate 20% of paper bags are recycled per annum whereas just 1% plastic bags are recycled. Can you figure out where the remainder 99% of plastic bags that have not been recycled ends up? It is high time you played your part in shaping the world's future by saying `NO' to plastic bags. Just search the net and you will find tote bags that provide you with all the comforts of the plastic bag and at the same help you to save the planet.
There are various options for you to choose from. When a jute bag, canvas bag, and cotton bag help you equally well with your day to day tasks and also keep the environment safe, why should you use the plastic bag? A number of countries have already imposed bans on plastic bags and only allow the usage of eco friendly tote bags. It is time that you played your part by using an eco bags.
