ShopToEarth On Using Cloth Bags
Plastic and paper bags have a huge negative impact on the environment and should be avoided as much as possible. ShopToEarth members should know that:
- It can take up to a thousands years for a plastic bag to decompose.
- While they are decomposing, plastic bags leach toxins into the ground and water supply.
- Paper bags aren’t much better. Because today’s landfills are overfilled causing a lack of air, light and water it can take just as long for a paper bag to break down as it does the plastic bag.
- Over 100,000 marine animals die each year due to plastic bags finding their way into lakes and oceans.
Reusable cloth bags found on the ShopToEarth online shopping site are a sturdy, Earth-friendly alternative to paper and plastic bags. Not only do they eliminate waste and help us conserve our natural resources, they come in a variety of styles perfect for making a fashionable eco statement.
Hey Felix I just purchased a stainless steel bottle to bottle my own water but I haven’t used it yet but I think it is a good idea.
I have been using the STE cloth bags for almost a year now! I love them and will never go back to using plastic!! I take my 7 cloth bags with me and that is enough to put my weeks worth of groceries in.
