DAY 16: Plastic Bags
Most of us have seen the heart wrenching images of birds being terminally entangled
by plastic bags, and of the deaths of animals due to plastic bag ingestion.
According to the latest report, nearly 200 different species of sea life including whales,
dolphins, seals, and turtles die because of plastic bags.
Bags end up in landfills, oceans, seas, and lakes.
Unlike items that naturally biodegrade, plastic bags photodegrade, meaning that over
time the plastic breaks down into smaller, more toxic substances. These contaminants
poison our soil and water and then enter our food chain.
If we trade our plastic bags for reusable cloth bags, we can help this plastic bag crisis.
Because plastic bags are made from oil, reducing them would decrease foreign oil
dependency.
We'd start preserving the thousands of marine animals and more than 1 million of
birds who die from plastic bags each year.
It's a small investment to give ourselves and our children a better future.
