Stop the Plastic Bag Scourge

“China bans free plastic bags”

According to this article a friend sent me, “the Chinese use up to 3 billion plastic shopping bags a day.” As a result of the number of bags floating through the air and filling their landfills, the government has mandated that shops and supermarkets charge for the ubiquitous bags to encourage the use of reusable bags. I’m not sure how many bags we use per day in the United States or Europe, but I figure it would be a pretty hefty figure.

Before I began putting together my collection of shopping bags, I would collect plastic bags from each shopping trip and leave them on a hook near my door. It was incredible how quickly they piled up. But now I leave five reusable shopping bags hanging by my door and grab them for each shopping trip. It also limits my purchasing because I have to be able to carry what I buy.

Our government may not go as far as banning free plastic bags, but you can do your part to help reduce impact and support Coffee Kids at the same time by picking up one of our tote bags in our online shop.

The Earth has been facing immense pollution from our garbage and consumption. The latest deadly pollution is plastic bags that fill up the landfills. With plastic bags becoming a growing concern, cotton bag has become the new way to help stop the pollution.
With plastic bag pollution being a rising concern, many shoppers need to start using reusable cotton bags in order to stop the pollution.
Plastic bag pollution is very deadly and takes hundreds of years to break down. Even if the component is broken done, the deadly chemicals will go into the ground and water system. By reducing the usage of plastic bag, Earth can recuperate. That’s why cotton bags should be used world wide to help reduce the pollution.
It is our generation to stop the pollution and start using cotton bags as the solution. With global warming going out of hand from gas exhaustion, we don’t need any more problems especially plastic bags that are harmful when broken down naturally. These broken down elements cause sickness and destruction to the air, soil and water system.
Use cotton canvas bags starting today as a way to stop the plastic pollution that is becoming a major threat to the environment. Our lives are threatened ever more from the growing usage of plastic bags. It is time you bring a canvas bag to shopping the next time you go to a supermarket.
