Each year 1 million birds and sea mammals die from plastic bag ingestion and entanglement. Did you know that less than 1% of plastic bags get recycled? Do something about it and carry reusable bags with you - there are some great ones available. I was just given some Costco reusable bags and they are wonderfully strong and big - enough to carry home the groceries. From Walmart to Trader Joes, reusable bags are available. The key is to use them!
