Get Away Plastic Bags!

Most stores we buy from use plastic bags but should the customers just go along and take them? NO. Time magazine says we use 500 billion plastic bags and only 3% of those get recycled. Sure, you can start recycling them, that's a great idea. But I have a better one, don't use plastic bags. Just keep a few canvas bags in your car and when you go the gorcery store, mall, or any store, use those instead of plastic bags. 

And if you really don't care that much about recycling. Here is another tid-bit: there is enough plastic in our oceans to fill the state of Texas. Can I say that again for emphasis? TEXAS. And I bet much of that plastic comes from those plastic bags you are carrying home.
