Replace Your Supermarket Bags With Eco-Friendly Ones
Have you ever wondered how many shopping bags you personally use per year at the supermarket?
According to recent statistics, the average American
household goes to the supermarket twice a week or 104 times a year. Food
shopping is a popular pastime, but we spend more.
If you think about it, we probably use at least two grocery
bags per purchase - that's 208 plastic bags per year - and that's a lot of
plastic bags. Let's assume that every household uses 208 plastic bags. That's a
lot of plastic bags and it's not good for the environment. Plastic bags are
usually made from polyethylene, called ethylene monomer. Ethylene is produced
from natural gas or oil.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, only
1% of plastic bags are recycled.
So what can we do to make the world a better place?
Shouldn't we use reusable bags when we shop?
Buying reusable bags is a good way to show that sustainable
living is easy and simple, and a good way to show society that we are taking
steps to reduce waste.
If 7% of American shoppers switched from plastic bags to
eco-friendly shopping bags like the Small Thunder Custom Glossy Tote Bag, we
would have the following incredible benefits
·
11 barrels of oil
·
800 million pounds of plastic bags eliminated
With shopping bags, you're setting an example and people
will realize that you're a thinker and a pioneer in protecting the environment.
And being green doesn't mean compromising on style. Tote
bags are available in many stylish designs and colors and can be printed in
multiple colors with your company logo or branding. The increasingly popular
tote bag is a jute bag with rope handles and an eco-friendly design in earthy
colors. Jute is made by spinning and weaving plant fibers and is, therefore, a
completely organic material. The jute bag has a braided rope handle that is
comfortable to hold.
Another advantage is that the supermarket bags are much
stronger than thin plastic bags, so you don't have to worry about the bottom
falling out.
Eco-bags are made from biodegradable materials, so when
thrown away, they don't leave behind harmful synthetic materials.
Tote bags are a growing promotional item as marketing and
retail organizations want their brands to be perceived as environmentally and
planet friendly.
Purchasing eco-friendly tote bags is a great solution that
benefits the environment, you, and your customers.
